    Match facts

    • Wales have won four of their previous seven meetings with Turkey (D1 L2), winning the most recent game 2-0 in Baku at Euro 2020.
    • Wales' last away game against Turkey was in August 1997 in a World Cup qualifier - they came from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 in the first half, and also led 4-3 in the second half before eventually losing 6-4.
    • Turkey lost 2-0 at home against Croatia in their first home European Championship qualifier of this campaign - they haven't lost consecutive home qualifiers within the same campaign since losing to Poland, England and the Republic of Ireland in Euro 1992 qualifying.
    • Wales have won just one of their past 11 matches (D3 L7), with their 1-0 victory against Latvia in March also their only clean sheet in this run.
    • Wales' 4-2 defeat by Armenia last time out was the first time in 49 qualifying matches (including play-offs) they conceded four goals or more in a game since losing 6-1 against Serbia in 2012.
    • Including play-off matches, Wales have only failed to score in one of their past 18 qualifiers for the World Cup and European Championship, doing so in a goalless draw at home against Estonia in September 2021.
    • Cengiz Under has been involved in 14 goals in his past 16 appearances for Turkey, scoring seven and assisting seven.
    • Brennan Johnson has been involved in four goals in his past six starts for Wales (two goals, two assists), setting up Dan James' opener against Armenia last time out.

    The way we've been defending of late, we could be in for more of the same!

    Didn’t realise that crazy game was the last time we played Turkey in Turkey, we were all over the place with Bobby Gould as manager

    FT: Armenia 2 - 1 Latvia

    92nd minute penalty wins it for the home side.

    Sit back and hit them on the counter and hope the center backs play better than last time I guess.

    Really does show how shallow the squad is, a draw will be a hell of a result in these circumstances.

    Either that, or it shows how set in his ways Page is. It's like the World Cup all over again!

    Far be it from me to defend Page because he’s shite, but of the fit outfield players not in the starting lineup the only one to have more than 5 caps is David Brooks. Could he be in the team over Wilson or James - maybe but you aren’t solving the defensive or midfield problems either way.

    Do we have any good youngsters up and coming who could fill our problem positions of defensive midfield and left back when Davies is out?

    FFS - VAR will give this

    Agent Mepham strikes again.

    Good finish 🤦*♂️

    Re: TURKEY v WALES. Match thread

    Why is the Ref going to the screen? Surely VAR make the decision as offside is factual

    Re: TURKEY v WALES. Match thread

    Fair play to the ref

    But we were opened up like a knife through butter
