Wales travel to Turkey for their penultimate Nations League game tonight.

Three points for Craig Bellamy’s side would mean Wales go top of their group, and with just one more game to play next week against Iceland, it puts Cymru in good stead to win the group and earn promotion to UEFA Nations League A.

Last time out Wales comfortably dispatched Montenegro 1-0 at home, and Bellamy’s side will be looking to continue their winning form at the Kadir Has Stadium on Saturday evening.

Last time these two sides met, back in September, neither team was able to break the deadlock, and the game ended in a goalless draw. Since then, Turkey have gone on to win all three games, so Bellamy’s men will have to put in a good performance if they want to defeat the Euro 2024 quarter finalists.

Welsh fans will have to watch out for Real Madrid wonderkid Arda Güler, who was Turkey's standout performer at the Euros last summer. Here is everything you need to know about the clash.

What's been said?

Craig Bellamy, Wales coach: “Coming to a country as passionate about football as Turkey is, that’s always an honour, You have to relish this, it’s so good. Will we be able to play how we want to play? That’s going to be the test.

“The intense atmosphere adds to it being a really exciting game. Can we dominate the tempo of the game? Can we make it quiet? I expect the first 10 to 20 minutes to be a really tough period, maybe a bit of pain, but then the game will settle down. I want the team to feel like they can win every game, no matter where it is.

“We’ll keep building and keep improving, allowing us to reach our ultimate goal, to be at the World Cup. I don’t care who we get in our group. There are not going to be any favours given to you, no matter what happens in these scenarios in the Nations League.

"There is no easy route to qualify for a World Cup, nor should there be, nor would we want there to be.”
