10 September 2013 [11:37] - Today.Az
Turkish national football team visits Romania tonight in its desperate bid to get a spot in the 2014 World Cup.
Turkey is fourth in the Group D, three points behind second Romania. The Netherlands is the runaway leader with 19 points, while third Hungary is also chasing a playoff spot with 11 points.
Turkey found some morale with a 5-0 victory over minnow Andorra on Sept. 6, when Fatih Terim was making his debut in his third spell as the national team coach.
Terim took over the vacant national team post after Abdullah Avc? resigned following a dismal performance. Terim was signed on a four-match deal, but his temporary job could be extended if he could lead Turkey to a victory in Romania.
Turkey lost 1-0 in the two teams’ first meeting last year.
Elsewhere in the group, Hungary hosts Estonia and the Netherlands takes on Andorra.
