Turkey - WLDWWW
The Turkey boss Vincenzo Montella has a full complement, with no fitness worries at all before this match thanks to a completely healthy group ready to go.
In our view, Ay Yıldızlılar should opt for a 4-2-3-1 system with Ugurcan Cakir, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Merih Demiral, Abdulkerim Bardakci, Mert Muldur, Orkun Kokcu, Hakan Calhanoglu, Yunus Akgun, Arda Guler, Kerem Akturkoglu and Baris Alper Yilmaz.
Turkey fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 2-4 Nations League triumph over Iceland.
In that game, Turkey had 64% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 12 on target. For Turkey, the goals were scored by İrfan Can Kahveci (62'), Hakan Çalhanoğlu (67'), Arda Güler (88') and Kerem Aktürkoğlu (95'). Iceland had 12 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Orri Steinn Óskarsson (3') and Andri Guðjohnsen (83') scored for Iceland.
Vincenzo Montella's Turkey have seen rewards for their attempts on goal 11 times in their past six outings. The comparative number of goals that have been scored against them in that same time stands at 6.
Wales - DLDWDW
Thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from, the Wales manager Craig Bellamy has zero fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.
We are inclined to think that The Dragons appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Danny Ward, Connor Roberts, Joe Rodon, Ben Cabango, Ben Davies, Joe Allen, Josh Sheehan, Brennan Johnson, Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas and Mark Harris.
Wales will go into this meeting after a 1-0 Nations League win with the defeat of Montenegro in their previous fixture.
In that game, Wales had 66% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Wales was Harry Wilson (36'). Montenegro had 5 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Throughout their six previous matches, Craig Bellamy's Wales have converted a total of 5 times - yielding them the goals per game average of 0.83.
Turkey possible starting lineup:
Cakir; Celik, Demiral, Bardakci, Muldur; Calhanoglu, Kokcu; Akgun, Guler, Akturkoglu; B. Yilmaz
Wales possible starting lineup:
Ward; Roberts, Rodon, Cabango, Davies; Allen, Sheehan; Johnson, Wilson, Thomas; M. Harris

Both nations will back themselves to come away with a positive result from Saturday's contest and they are aware of how important securing maximum points is in their quest to finish top of their group. Another tight affair, like the reverse fixture, cannot be ruled out, but we can see the two teams scoring in this one and Turkey just edging it on home soil.
