Predictions and betting tips for the Wales vs Turkey football match on November 21, 2023.
Our forecast for the upcoming Euro 2024 game:
Designated Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is just one of many Turkish football players who were born and raised in Germany. As expected, he gained recognition for his skills and achievements while playing in the Bundesliga. This attacking midfielder has exceptional vision and a strong track record of scoring goals. He began his career with Karlsruher, scoring an impressive 17 goals in 50 league matches before joining Bundesliga club Hamburg.
The performance at Imtech Arena was only a small step towards greater achievements, as 11 goals in his first season in the top league convinced Bayer Leverkusen to pay almost €15 million for his skills. This turned out to be a smart investment, as Calhanoglu maintained his impressive form and is expected to soon join one of the top European teams.
The talented midfielder had a promising beginning with the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in his first 16 appearances. It is likely that he will emerge as a leader for the Milli Takim in the coming years.
Highlighted Team (Wales):
The Wales national football team, although a part of the United Kingdom, has been participating in FIFA tournaments since 1950. However, they have only been able to reach two tournament finals thus far. In a surprising turn of events, the Dragons made it to the quarter-finals in the 1958 World Cup held in Sweden. Unfortunately, this remains their only appearance in the World Cup to date.
Although Wales faced challenges during the European Championship qualifiers, they were able to break their streak of losses and secure a spot at the 2016 Euro in France. The team, led by notable players such as Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen, and Ashley Williams, performed impressively throughout the campaign and even reached 8th place in the FIFA Rankings in October 2015.
Neville Southall remains the most extensively represented player on the team, however, the group consisting of Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy, and John Hartson will also be renowned for their remarkable displays against prominent European national teams.
