[UEFA Nations League] Wales vs Turkey - Turkey impressed during Euro 2024 and is rightly considered one of the favorites in their Nations League group.
Over the past decade, Wales has significantly raised its international profile, regularly qualifying for major tournaments. Notably, the "Dragons" had an impressive run at Euro 2016, finishing in third place. In the Euro 2024 qualification, they secured third place in their group, giving them a chance to compete in the Nations League playoffs.
After a 4:1 victory over Finland, Wales lost in a penalty shootout to Poland. In June, they played two friendlies, drawing 0:0 with Gibraltar and suffering a heavy 0:4 defeat to Slovakia. Following these results, Rob Page stepped down as head coach, and Craig Bellamy took over the role.Turkey has faced challenges qualifying for World Cups, having only reached the tournament once in the past 60 years, but they made the most of that appearance by winning bronze at the 2002 World Cup. However, they’ve had more success in the European Championships, participating in four of the last five tournaments, including Euro 2008, where they also secured third place.
In the Euro 2024 group stage, Turkey finished second, defeating Georgia (3:1) and the Czech Republic (2:1) but losing 0:3 to Portugal. In the Round of 16, Vincenzo Montella's team pulled off an upset by beating Austria 2:1, though they were eliminated by the Netherlands (1:2) in the quarterfinals.
