Turkey vs Wales Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2024

Turkey will welcome Wales to the Kadir Has Stadium in the group stage of the UEFA Nations League on Saturday. Both teams have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the competition thus far, with three wins for the hosts and two for the Dragons.

After a goalless draw in their campaign opener, the Crescent-Stars have registered three wins on the trot. They played Iceland in their previous outing and second-half goals from İrfan Kahveci, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Arda Güler, and Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu helped them record a 4-2 away win.

The visitors played Montenegro at home last time around, recording a 1-0 win. Harry Wilson scored the game's only goal from the penalty spot in the 36th minute.

A win here will help the Dragons move to the top of the Group B4 standings while a draw will work in the hosts' favor.

Turkey vs Wales Prediction

The Crescent-Stars are on a three-game winning streak in the Nations League, scoring eight goals, and will look to continue that form. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games in the competition, recording five wins, and are strong favorites.

The Dragons have enjoyed an unbeaten record in the competition thus far, though their two wins have both been registered against Montenegro. They are winless in their last three away meetings against the hosts, failing to score in two.

Kieffer Moore, Wes Burns, and Owen Beck were ruled out of the squad due to injuries. Charlie Crew, the 18-year-old midfielder from Leeds United, has earned his first senior call-up and should start from the bench.

While both teams have been unbeaten in the competition thus far, the Crescent-Stars have the better goalscoring record and should be able to make the most of their home advantage to eke out a win.
