Turkey vs Wales

Turkey is aiming for promotion in the UEFA Nations League as they host Wales on Saturday, November 16th, at 5 PM. The Crescent-Stars are currently at the top of Group B4, holding a two-point lead over their rivals. They know that a victory against Craig Bellamy’s team will see them go up. Although Wales cannot achieve promotion in Matchday 5, a win in this match would significantly boost their chances as they look to return from Kayseri with all three points. This game will be broadcast live on S4C from 5pm in the UK.

Turkey to win (4/5 with QuinnBet)

Turkey are ranked higher than Wales in the FIFA rankings at this moment, and have a more settled team with recent success in the Euros to back up their progress under Vincenzo Montella. They top the group, and managed to attain a draw in the return fixture. The Turks are five unbeaten at home, winning four of those matches, including both previous Nations League games. Wales’ win over Montenegro in this Nations League campaign was their only away win in their last five away from home, but

Kerem Aktürkoğlu to score anytime (12/5 with Bet365)

Kerem Aktürkoğlu has scored in two of Turkey’s three recent UEFA Nations League matches, totaling four goals. He can be deployed from the left or in the number nine role, and is coming into his peak for both club and country. Arda Guler, Semih Kilicsoy, and Kenan Yildiz are all youngsters who offer a lot of creativity and quality in the forward line as well, but it has been the more experienced Akturkoglu that has been the one to provide the cutting edge so far this campaign.

Turkey vs Wales latest odds

How both teams go into Turkey vs Wales

Turkey emerged as one of the surprise packages at Euro 2024 and have carried that momentum into their Nations League campaign. After a goalless draw against Wales in the opening round, they followed up with three consecutive wins, placing them at the top of Group B4. A victory in this match would secure their promotion to League A. Meanwhile, Wales, who missed the summer festivities in Germany, comes into matchday five of this Nations League tournament unbeaten, boasting two narrow victories over Montenegro. However, Craig Bellamy’s side cannot achieve promotion in this latest round though a win would put them into pole position to get into the top tier.
