The 24-year-old winger says there is no reason to feel intimidated by the Germans as he feels that playing the match on Turkish soil will give his side an advantageAtletico Madrid winger Arda Turan believes Turkey are slight favourites for Friday's Group A Euro 2012 qualifier against Germany.Turkey need to take maximum points against the three-time World Cup winners to secure second place in the group and avoid being leapfrogged by Belgium and in the process book their ticket to the play-offs.The first match between the two teams in the Euro 2012 qualifiers ended with a resounding 3-0 victory to Germany, but Turan is expecting a different outcome on Friday."The fact that this match is played in Turkey gives us an advantage," he told Lig TV. "We want to make our fans happy."We have a 51 per cent chance of winning the game. If we begin the match in an aggressive way, we will be able to impose our style."Germany are a great team, but there is nothing to be afraid of."After taking on Germany, who are already through to the Euro 2012 finals, Turkey will face Azerbaijan on October 11 in the final group match.
