Wales Vs Turkey Starting Lineups, Match Preview and Analysis

Wales will face Turkey in the UEFA Nations League B Group Stage on September 6, with the match scheduled to kick off at 19:45 Wales local time.

The two teams last met nine months ago in a World Cup Qualifier, where the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Wales enters this game following a 1-0 loss to Slovakia in a friendly on June 9. They have struggled recently, failing to win in their last three matches and going goalless in each, which adds pressure on their forwards to deliver.

Turkey, on the other hand, is coming off a defeat to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals on July 6. Defensive issues have plagued the team, as they have conceded goals in six consecutive matches, which they will need to address to improve their results.

Betting Tips for Wales vs. Turkey

1. Match Result:

• Turkey to Win: Turkey has shown better form in recent matches, with 3 wins in their last 6 games. Wales, on the other hand, has struggled to secure victories, winning just 1 of their last 6. Turkey’s recent performances, especially their ability to win away from home, make them the stronger side going into this match.

2. Both Teams to Score (BTTS):

• No: Wales has been struggling offensively, failing to score in their last three games. Turkey has also had a few low-scoring games recently. Considering both teams’ recent form, this could be a match where only one side finds the net.

3. Total Goals:

• Under 2.5 Goals: Given Wales’ struggles in front of goal and Turkey’s recent solid defensive performances, a low-scoring game is likely. Three of Wales’ last six matches and two of Turkey’s last six have seen under 2.5 goals.

4. First Half Result:

• Draw: Both teams might start cautiously, especially Wales, who will be keen to avoid conceding early. A draw at halftime is a plausible outcome as both sides might take time to find their rhythm.

5. Correct Score Prediction:

• Turkey to Win 1-0: Given the recent form and defensive frailties on both sides, Turkey could edge out a narrow victory. Wales’ inability to score in their last three matches suggests that they may struggle to break down Turkey’s defense.

Prediction:

• Turkey 1-0 Wales
