The Turkish National team are in danger of slipping down into pot four if their form does not improve.
Turkey have dropped to 46th place in the FIFA World Rankings following a poor string of results and are expected to fall further down the table when it is updated this month.
Kazakhstan are currently joint last with Turkey with just one point after three games. Turkey is yet to win a single game after losing to Iceland, Czech Republic and only managing a 1-1 draw against Latvia.
Both sides desperately need a win to keep chances of qualification alive.
