Turkey preview: Hoping to clinch promotion with a win
After a draw to start this edition of the Nations League, Turkey have won three games in a row and now they sit atop of their group in League B with two points more then their next opponent Wales. So, a win in this game would secure them a place in League A for next season, but even a draw would get them close to this goal.
Vincenco Montella won't be able to count on injured Ferdi Kadioglu, Ozan Kabak, Caglar Soyuncu, Irfan Kahveci, and Dogan Alemdar.
Predicted lineup: Cakir (GK), Celik, Demiral, Bardakci, Muldur, Calhanoglu, Kokcu, Akgun, Guler, Akturkoglu & B. Yilmaz

Wales preview: Still in the race for a spot in League A
While Wales are currently second in their group, two points behind their next opponent Turkey, they have been surprisingly good in the Nations League and are still undefeated after four games. Of course, Turkey away will be their toughest test yet, but if they manage to steal the win, they would be very close to promotion to the highest rank of the UEFA Nations League.
Welsh legend and their current manager Craig Bellamy also has to deal with a few injuries, with Kieffer Moore, Rabbi Matondo, Nathan Broadhead, Wes Burns, Aaron Ramsey, Owen Beck, and Oli Cooper all pulling out of the squad for this international window.
Predicted lineup: Ward (GK), Roberts, Rodon, Cabango, Davies, Allen, Sheehan, Johnson, Wilson, Thomas & M. Harris

Player to watch: Kerem Akturkoglu
Benfica's forward has been in great form this season, both for his team and for Turkey. After all, Akturkoglu has scored four times in the Nations League so far and he'll be the player to watch as Turkey host Wales in hopes of securing promotion.
