Wales Vs Turkey Prediction: Difficult, But There's Still An Opportunity

Wales still have a chance of qualifying automatically for the Euro 2024 finals (Instagram/@fawales).

JAKARTA Wales will host Turkey in the last match of Group D of the Euro 2024 Qualification at Cardiff City Stadium, Wednesday, November 22, 2023 in the morning WIB.

Wales wants to make this match a life-to-life party. You see, Wales wants to keep the chance of qualifying directly for the finals in Germany.

Victory is a fixed price. You see, that's the only way to accompany Turkey, which has confirmed tickets to qualify for Euro 2024 and shifted Croatia from the group's runner-up post.

That too with Croatia's record of losing to Armenia. If Croatia plays a draw then Wales must have a goal difference of over eight, which is difficult to happen.

Currently, Wales is in third place in the standings with 11 points. Croatia stands on top of it with 13 points and Turkey's gains will not change the fate of its pass, regardless of the result in the group's final party.

Although difficult, Si Naga, the nickname Wales, was reluctant to give up. Rop Page, a Wales coach, wants to pursue an automatic chance of qualifying first.

Indeed, the realistic target is to maintain third place and fight to win the remaining three tickets in the play-off match. However, for now Page doesn't want to rely on play-offs.

"Unfortunately, this is now beyond our control. It didn't happen the way we wanted it to be. However, that's life and we have to continue. It's about building momentum."

'Play-off is in March 2024. If the results benefit us, we still have a chance to qualify (automatic).'

"We can only control what we can do, keep the players within the right framework of thinking, mentally and physically ready for the match against Turkey. We have to finish this season well. It is important to have momentum," Page said.

Turkey is not an easy opponent for Wales. At the first meeting in qualifying, the Dragon lost 0-2.

However, things are different now. Turkey will play without a target. That opportunity must be taken advantage of by Wales well.

Moreover, Page's team played at home. The motivation is increasing after the mission of revenge was added.

No wonder, the match will have a great opportunity to become Wales's. At least they can win with a thin score.

Not to mention other injections of encouragement from Wales versus Turkey meeting records. The Naga won four of them, while Turkey won three of their eight meetings.

Meanwhile, hoping that Croatia will lose is not impossible. The reason is, Armenia, which is currently ranked fourth with eight points, has a mission to shift Wales to continue the struggle through the play-off path.
