Kazakhstan can only hope to improve on previous results against Turkey as 's side chase their second victory in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group A. Previous meetings • Burak Yılmaz scored twice as Turkey beat Kazakhstan 3-1 in Istanbul in November; it was their first win in Group A. • Turkey have won all five of their competitive matches against Kazakhstan, scoring 18 goals in the process and conceding just twice. Kazakhstan have yet to survive a half without conceding against Turkey. • The sides are meeting for the second UEFA European Championship qualifying competition in succession, Turkey winning 3-0 in Astana and 2-1 in Istanbul last time out. • Turkey prevailed 6-0 last time they met Kazakhstan in Almaty, during 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying. It remains Kazakhstan's heaviest home defeat. Form guide • Kazakhstan opened their Group A account with a 0-0 draw against Latvia but have lost all four of their subsequent fixtures in the section. • Kazakhstan are without a win in eight competitive games (D2 L6) since a 2-1 home success against the Faroe Islands in a September 2013 World Cup qualifier. • Turkey have not kept a clean sheet in six competitive matches since they beat Estonia 2-0 in their final away fixture of the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign. • Turkey's Group A away record is W0 D2 L1. Trivia and links • This is Kazakhstan's first competitive game in Almaty since a 4-0 loss to England in a World Cup qualifier on 6 June 2009; they have played subsequent home fixtures in the capital, Astana. • Kazakhstan have lost all but one of their meetings with Turkey in UEFA age-group competitions, but can take some heart from the fact that they beat Turkey 2-1 in a UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier in Almaty in June 2005. That is the only win registered by a Kazakh men's side in a UEFA game against a Turkish team. • The only UEFA meeting between the nations' clubs was in the second qualifying round of the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League; Galatasaray AŞ beat FC Tobol Kostanay 2-0 in Istanbul following a 1-1 draw in Kazakhstan.

5 Kazakhstan - Turkey Friday 12 June 2015 - 18.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Almaty Ortalyk Stadion, Almaty Head coach Yuri Krasnozhan Date of birth: 7 June 1963 Nationality: Russian Playing career: PFC Spartak Nalchik, FC Avtozapchast Baksan Coaching career: FC Avtozapchast Baksan (assistant), PFC Spartak Nalchik, FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Anji Makhachkala, FC Kuban Krasnodar, FC Terek Grozny, Russia B, Kazakhstan • An unremarkable player with Nalchik and Avtozapchast, Krasnozhan moved into coaching in the 1990s, making his name during a six-year spell in charge of Nalchik, whom he led into the Russian top flight on a modest budget after finishing second in the second tier in 2005. • A sixth-placed finish with Nalchik in 2010 prompted Lokomotiv to bring Krasnozhan to Moscow, but he lasted just six months. He took the Anji helm in 2011, yet stepped down after only two months with the ambitious Dagestan club. • Similarly inconclusive spells in the Kuban and Terek dugouts followed for the former coach of Russia's B national team. • Having struck up a relationship with the Football Federation of Kazakhstan (KFF) the previous year – visiting to watch the Super Cup – Krasnozhan replaced Czech Miroslav Beránek as Kazakhstan boss in February 2014, signing a two-year deal. Fatih Terim Date of birth: 4 September 1953 Nationality: Turkish Playing career: Adana Demirspor, Galatasaray AŞ Coaching career: MKE Ankaragücü, Göztepe AŞ, Turkey Under-21, Turkey (three times), Galatasaray AŞ (three times), ACF Fiorentina, AC Milan • A central defender, Terim represented Galatasaray for over a decade and played 51 games for Turkey, 32 as captain. Began his coaching career with Ankaragücü and Göztepe, before being named assistant to national team boss Sepp Piontek and put in charge of the U21s in 1990. • Appointed Turkey coach in 1993, Terim led them to EURO '96. They lost all their matches in England, but just getting to the final tournament, Turkey's first since the 1954 FIFA World Cup, was a major landmark. • Returned to Galatasaray after the EURO, winning four league titles and the 2000 UEFA Cup. came calling and Terim took the helm at Fiorentina and Milan before rejoining Galatasaray; however, a run of disappointing results brought about a temporary retirement in 2004. • Reappointed Turkey coach in 2005, Terim – known as 'İmparator' (The Emperor) for his leadership skills – could not guide them through a 2006 World Cup play-off against Switzerland. Success followed at UEFA EURO 2008 with Terim steering Turkey to the semi-finals but he resigned following unsuccessful bid to reach the 2010 World Cup. • Back for a third spell as Galatasaray boss in July 2011, in his first season he inspired Cimbom to their first Süper Lig crown in four years. Repeated the feat in 2013 when also helping Galatasaray to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Named head of the national team for a third time – on a part-time basis – in August 2013, he parted company with Galatasaray in September to assume the role full time. Was unable to lead Turkey to the 2014 World Cup despite winning three of his four qualifiers in charge.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
