Turkiye - Player To Watch
Kerem Akturkoglu is one of the top scorers in the Nations League so far with four goals scored in four games. He's been in lethal form for Benfica, too, with 14 goals in 20 starts for club and country this campaign.
Wales - Player To Watch
Harry Wilson has been warming the bench a fair bit at Fulham recently but that doesn't mean he hasn't contributed as he has three goals in his last 16 minutes of football for the Cottages, who recently defeated Brentford and Crystal Palace.
Turkiye vs Wales - Prediction
Wales would have identified Turkey away in November as the toughest fixture in the group and the home side this Saturday will fancy themselves to get three points. Both teams have big names out with injury, but Turkiye have a strong squad, with the likes of Hakan Calhanoglu, Arda Guler and Akturkoglu all capable of being match winners.
Scoreline prediction - Turkiye 3-1 Wales
