Wales vs. Turkey analysis, preview
Wales
After a 1-1 away draw with Armenia, the Wales national team find themselves in a very uncomfortable situation and promotion is no longer in their hands. They must beat Turkey unconditionally while hoping for a faltering Croatia, who will face Armenia on their home field.
Home coach Rob Page is urging his team to go for it against Turkey. Wales have been in magnificent form on home soil in qualifying, having been beaten only by Armenia (10-3-1) in their last 14 matches.
Turkey
In the opposite situation is Turkey, who have qualified for their third European Championship in a row, the longest such streak in the country’s history! And fans of the national team are full of enthusiasm. The Turks are in good playing form, having beaten Germany on its field 2: 3 in a friendly and currently have three wins in a row.
The mutual record of these teams speaks in favour of Wales (4-1-3), and the last mutual match ended with Turkey winning 2: 0.
Key figures for Wales
Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson, who has been involved in goals in two of the club’s last three games (1+1), could once again be the difference maker for Wales.
Turkey’s key figures
Definitely Inter Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu. Also worth mentioning is Juventus 18-year-old Kenan Yıldız, who scored against Germany last week in his first ever senior national team start in the starting line-up!
Wales vs. Turkey odds, betting tips
I’m expecting open football from the start, as Wales need to step up. The Turks are playing at their best with a certainty of qualification to Euro 2024 and a win over Germany. I expect the football to be high intensity and commitment from the start, especially from Wales. That inspires me to pick the yellow cards. This pick has several factors.
Wales will go all out under pressure and the Turks are known for their hot-headedness. The visiting team has received 20 yellow cards in their last 5 games, an average of 4 yellow cards per game. One can count on fights and tense situations, hence the amount of yellow cards.
Betting tip | Number of yellow cards in a match more than 4.5
