Head to Head

Wales have won four of their nine matches against Turkey. There have been two draws and two Turkish wins.

Wales Form

Wales sacked former manager Rob Page after a dip in form and failure to qualify for the Euro 2024 finals. Former Dragons player Craig Bellamy was named as the new boss in July.

Bellamy will be tasked with improving on a three-match winless run. Wales lost their Euro 2024 play-off to Poland, drawing 0-0 before losing on penalties and then drew 0-0 with Gibraltar.

A 4-0 thrashing in Slovakia followed and Wales were second best with 40% possession and 2-8 shots on target. The Dragons conceded just before half time and conceded three more in the second period.

Midfielders: Aaron Ramsey, Harry Wilson, Ethan Ampadu, Jordan James, Rubin Colwill

Josh Sheehan, Oli Cooper, Charlie Crew

Forwards: Kieffer Moore, Brennan Johnson, Sorba Thomas, Mark Harris, Liam Cullen, Lewis Koumas

Karl Darlow, Owen Beck and Charlie Crew are uncapped and could make their debuts in Cardiff.

Turkey Form

Turkey impressed at Euro 2024 and reached the quarter-final stage. It was a surprising performance given the nation were winless in five, losing three, before the competition.

The Crescent Stars beat Georgia 3-1 and Czechia 2-1 and lost 3-0 to Portugal in the Euros group stages. These results were followed by a 2-1 round of 16 win over Austria.

Vincenzo Montella’s outfit couldn't progress past the Netherlands, despite Samet Akaydin giving his side a first-half lead. Turkey eventually lost 2-1 after conceding two in the second half and allowing 60% possession.

19-year-old Arda Güler scored and assisted in Turkey’s Euro 2024 quarter-final run. The forward is likely to start again on Friday.

Verdict

Wales v Turkey

Wales have a decent home record and will want to put in a solid performance for their new boss. Turkey aren't great on the road and a score draw is the best pick in this Nations League encounter.
