Wales vs Turkey Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Nations League 2024-25

Wales are in a new era after the retirement of star player Gareth Bale.

The first round of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 will include the Dragons hosting Turkey at Cardiff City Stadium. Getting a new era started following the appointment of Craig Bellamy, Wales will be desperate to make an early statement here. Previous results of the Wales football team have been disappointing and they will look to get a win to boost their confidence for sure.

Turkey will start as slight favourites despite being the away team but the Welsh threat cannot be overlooked. They went all the way to the Quarter-Final of the European Championship and performed well against strong opposition. They have some top-quality players on their side and they will look to finish the group at the top. This will be an exciting clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Brennan Johnson (Wales)

Johnson has a wide variety of skill range that allows him to be deployed in several different roles including as a number 10 or as a winger. He is comfortable playing centrally and playing like a traditional striker but he tends to drift to wide areas which drags the defenders out with him creating a space for his teammates to exploit. He is a good dribbler and likes to take on defenders in one-on-one. He is very confident in his skills and capable of making a difference.

Arda Guler (Turkey)

His most extraordinary attribute lies in his dribbling prowess. He effortlessly takes on multiple defenders and with his low centre of gravity he can dribble past opposition players easily. he also has decent pace and agility which helps him to shrug off challenges. His technique, footwork and impeccable sense of timing allow him to execute these passes with remarkable precision even under intense pressure.
