They need a win or a draw to guarantee third position and cause the Oranje to miss their first UEFA EURO finals since 1984. • Iceland and the Czech Republic, who finish in the Netherlands, have qualified, with the former leading the way by a point. With their head-to-head records identical – both sides won 2-1 at home – Iceland (+12) have the edge on the Czechs (+4) on goal difference in the event of the teams finishing level on points. Previous meetings • Jón Dadi Bödvarsson headed Iceland in front on 9 September 2014, with Gylfi Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthórsson scoring following the 59th-minute dismissal of Turkey's Ömer Toprak. • Turkey's record in eight games against Iceland is W1 D2 L5 (W1 D1 L1 in Turkey). That sole victory came under current coach Fatih Terim – 5-0 in a EURO '96 qualifier on 12 October 1994. • Terim also scored the second and final goal of his 51-cap international playing career against Iceland, in a 3-1 defeat in Izmir in a September 1980 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Form guide • Turkey are unbeaten in three Group A home games since losing 2-1 to the Czech Republic 12 months ago. • Iceland have won three of their Group A away matches without conceding, their lone defeat a 2-1 reverse in the Czech Republic in November 2014. Disciplinary • The latest booking list is available here: http://www.uefa.org/disciplinary/disciplinary-cases/booking-lists/index.html. Trivia and links • Iceland defender Kári Árnason turns 33 on the day of the Turkey game. • Iceland midfielder Ólafur Skúlason plays his club football in Turkey with Gençlerbirliği SK. • In eight meetings between the nations in UEFA age-group tournaments, Iceland's record is W1 D1 L6. • The only three UEFA club competition games between Icelandic and Turkish teams have ended in Turkish victories – the winning side scoring three goals in each match. 4 Turkey - Iceland Tuesday 13 October 2015 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya Squad list Turkey Current season Overall Qual.
