Turkey will be hoping for back to back wins as they welcome Wales later on today. They secured a last-minute win over Latvia on Friday but the Dragons suffered a 4-2 thrashing at the hands of Armenia in Cardiff.

Turkey’s win now puts them ahead of Group D favourites Croatia although the latter side are currently not involved in this round of Euro qualifying after making it to the Nations League final.

Wales, on the other hand, must strive for the win in Turkey this evening if they are to hold on to hope of reaching their third successive major tournament, but their first since Gareth Bale’s retirement earlier this year. Speaking ahead of the match, David Brooks - who has recently come back into the squad following a battle with Hodgkin Lymphoma - has said: “If we win, we go back into a position of power.

“I think people will be starting to doubt us, but we have got to go and try and put in a performance to prove all those people wrong. We all want to try to get to a major tournament, so nothing has changed.”

Turkey and Wales have met on seven occasions with Wales winning four times, drawing once and losing twice. Their most recent meet was in 2021 when Wales beat Turkey 2-0 in the UEFAEuros 2020 competition. Turkey’s last win came in 1997 when they beat the Dragons 6-4.

In their last six matches, Turkey have won four and lost two while Wales have drawn two, lost three and won just one.

Team news

Turkey’s captain is still set to play the full 90 minutes despite featuring in the Champions League final ten days ago but it is likely that Kerem Akturkoglu is to be preferred over Kahveci despite the latter scoring the winner against Latvia.

However, Wales are set to be without Kieffer Moore after he was dismissed for violent conduct and a reshuffle is now in order with Brennand Johnson an option to start as the team’s central striker. David Brooks has returned to the team for the first time since October 2021 after being diagnosed with stage-two Hodgkin Lymphoma and made a 20-minute appearance as a second-half substitute and could well be in the starting line-up for this evening.
