Latvia v Turkey Turkey had to settle for second place in Group Seven behind England but should be far too strong for Latvia.

Latvia's second place in Group Four, clinched with a shock 1-0 victory over Sweden in the final match, was hailed as the country's greatest footballing achievement.

Latvia have a serious injury concern over striker Marian Pahars, while defenders Olegs Blagonadezdins and Aleksandrs Isakovs and midfielder Vitalijs Astafjevs all have less serious knocks.

Defenders Mihails Zemlinskis and Dzintars Zirnis are suspended.

Turkey will also be below full strength, with defender Alpay Ozalan and midfielder Yildiray Basturk both ruled out.

Alpay, without a club since leaving Aston Villa following his clash with David Beckham in the final group game against England, has flu, while Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Basturk is out because of back pains.

LATVIA (Probable): Kolinko; Stephanovs, Blagonadezdins, Isakovs, Lobanovs; Astafjevs, Laizans, Rubins, Bleidelis; Maris Verpakovskis, Andrejs Stolcers.

TURKEY (Probable): Rustu; Akyel, Bulent, Asik, Uzulmez; Okan, Belozoglu, Tugay, Ergun; Hakan Sukur, Nihat.

Referee: G Veissiere (France).
