Les Bleus started their new era under Zinedine Zidane with impressive three wins and a draw in the previous window, but they lost 3-1 away in Italy in Matchweek 5, which puts them on the back foot to secure a quarter final spot for 2027.
Turkey have lost all five of their games so far, and a win for Zidane would mean Italy have to better that result to make the next phase, as Roberto Mancini's charges head to Belgium.
