European Championship Qualifying
When: 19:05 GMT, November 11, 2011
Where: Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Turkey
Prediction: There really is very little between these team. Turkey, being the home side, likely have the edge this time around, but their lack of goals during qualifying is cause for concern. Expect a cagey affair, likely to end in a draw.
Turkey and Croatia lock horns in the first leg of their Euro 2012 play-off at the Turk Telekom Arena on Friday, live on ESPN at 1905 GMT.
Turkey reached the play-off phase after finishing second in Group A, two points above Belgium after a 1-0 scalp of Azerbaijan in their final fixture proved decisive.
The same goes for Croatia, who reached Euro 2008 at the expense of England but failed to secure a berth at South Africa.
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has left Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic out of his 24-man squad while Niko Kranjcar is sidelined. Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin misses out for Turkey following a knee injury while Gokhan Zan (hamstring) and Yekta Kurtulus (cruciate ligament) are also absent.
