Wales will play on Tuesday against the first team in the group, who is already safely there. One thing is clear here that Turkiye will play in the Euro finals next year. Their lead over Croatia is three points, so it is still unclear whether it will be first or second place. But behind them Wales is having just two points less than Croatia. If the Croatians win their last match against Armenia, the Dragons will only remain in 3rd place. But if Croatia just manage a draw a win would be enough for Wales to move forward thanks to the direct comparison. Against Croatia, the Dragons scored four points. Wales have never lost at home to Turkiye and have kept a complete clean sheet. There have only been two direct matches against the Turks since 1997, both of which resulted in a 2-0 win. Although all three home games were a long time ago it looks like the home team have it's chances. On the other hand, the Turks won all their qualifying games away from home by one goal. In the first leg, Turkiye won 2-0 with two late goals.
