Turkey vs Wales: Crucial UEFA Nations League Clash Set for Saturday
The highly anticipated UEFA Nations League match between Turkey and Wales is set to take place on Saturday, November 16, at the Kadir Has Stadium in Kayseri, Turkey. The kick-off is scheduled for 5:00 PM GMT (12:00 PM ET)[2][6].
This match is pivotal for both teams as they vie for the top spot in League B Group 4. Turkey currently leads the group with 10 points, while Wales is in second place with 8 points. A win for Turkey would significantly boost their chances of securing first place and promotion, while a victory for Wales could see them leapfrog Turkey and take the lead heading into the final matchday[2][6].
The match promises to be intense, given the stakes and the recent history between the two teams. Their last encounter in September ended in a 0-0 draw, despite Wales having the better chances and Turkey’s Baris Yilmaz receiving a red card[2][3].
Wales will be without several key players, including Ethan Ampadu, Aaron Ramsey, Kieffer Moore, Owen Beck, Wes Burns, and Nathan Broadhead. Daniel James, however, will be available for the first time under Craig Bellamy after recovering from a hamstring injury. Turkey will also face some absences, with Dogan Alemdar, Irfan Can Kahveci, Ozan Kabak, and Yusuf Yazici out due to injuries, and Kenan Yildiz suspended[2].
For viewers in the UK, the match will be broadcast live on S4C, with coverage starting at 4:30 PM GMT. It can also be streamed online via BBC iPlayer. In the USA, fans can watch the match on Fubo with a free trial, as well as on FOX Soccer Plus, TUDN, and DirecTV Stream[2][5][6].
Predictions suggest a close and potentially high-scoring game, with Turkey slightly favored due to their home advantage. However, Wales’s new-look side under Craig Bellamy is expected to put up a strong challenge[2][3][4].
