Wales have faced significant challenges in their recent top-tier away games, suffering through a series of ten straight losses and managing only a single point from the last 36 available. In contrast, Turkey has maintained a strong record on home ground in the UEFA Nations League, boasting ten wins and four draws in their last 12 home matches, making this encounter appear one-sided.
Wales’s recent performances in the UEFA Nations League have tended to be low-scoring, with 14 of their last 17 games ending with under 3.5 goals. Turkey’s recent home games show a similar trend, with 14 of their last 19 matches at this level also featuring fewer than 3.5 goals. Given this, a high-scoring game seems unlikely.
Wales, despite a valiant effort, fell short in their last attempt to advance in the UEFA Nations League. They scored and conceded in each of their last 12 games, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Turkey has also shown a similar pattern at home, with both teams scoring in 10 of their last 14 matches.
Prediction
With Wales consistently seeing under 3.5 goals in their last 17 away matches and Turkey having the same result in 16 of their recent 19 home games, this game is likely to follow a similar low-scoring trend.
Prediction: Turkey 1 : 1 Wales
