Turkey v Wales

Turkey vs Wales Preview

Turkey and Wales will do battle at the RHG Enertürk Enerji Stadyumu on Saturday evening in what is a top-of-the-table clash in Group 4 of League B in the Nations League with a precious three points up for grabs for both nations.

Turkey occupy top spot in the Group 4 table as the hosts have registered three wins and a draw from their opening four games, handing the upcoming hosts a two-point cushion ahead of their second placed visitors.

The hosts have recorded important wins against Iceland home and away in 3-1 and 4-2 wins respectively along with a 1-0 home win against Montenegro, while six wins overall within their previous nine internationals in all competitions place Turkey in a strong position to add to their points tally here on Saturday evening.

Overall results have also produced an encouraging period of form for Vincenzo Montella's side as Turkey have been handed just two defeats within their last nine internationals in all competitions, while results on home soil have also been pretty solid as well.

Indeed, Turkey have slipped to just one loss in their last 11 home games overall which was a 2-0 defeat to Croatia but having also collected no fewer than eight wins within this period as well, the Turks look favourites for the points here.

Wales have made a decent fist of things so far in their Nations League campaign as The Dragons still remain unbeaten after their opening four games, picking up two wins and two draws so far.

Wins away from home and at home against Montenegro in 2-1 and 1-0 victories respectively along with points picked up in draws with Turkey and Iceland have given Craig Bellamy's side a decent chance of at least securing a place in the promotion play-offs but the visitors know they probably need to get something from this upcoming clash to make sure.

Results overall in all competitions have also been steady enough as Wales have succumbed to just two defeats in their previous 14 games which were on penalties to Poland in a European Championship qualifier and a 4-0 defeat away from home at Slovakia in an international friendly.

Nevertheless, Wales have also registered six wins within this 14-game period as well, but the visitors know they must improve upon a sequence of poor results on the road which has seen Wales record just two wins from their previous 12 outings on the road in all competitions.
