Turkey faces Wales in round 2 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 16th at Baku Olympic Stadium (Baku)
Turkey is in a very bad situation. After such a loss to the Italian national team, the Crescent-Stars desperately need a victory because the most difficult match in the group has been played. But we did not see Turkey in the match against Italy, as it looked simply helpless. The fans also did not see the counterattacks on which hopes were pinned. However, this was not a bad game of Turkey, but a good game of Italy and their high constant pressure with frequent tackling in the opponent's half of the field. Now the Turks will play against Wales, which does not mind giving the ball. In the qualification, the Turks scored 18 goals in 10 games, and it should be said that they took the last line in terms of Over 2.5 goals scored, as their production was 2.1 goals per game. But the Crescent-Stars beat the French national team (2-0), and that already means something. In the World Cup qualification, Turkey played with Over 2.5 goals scored in all three matches against Latvia (3-3), Norway (0-3), and the Netherlands (4-2). This means that the team is capable of scoring a couple of goals.

The upcoming match is equally important for Wales. The Dragons have one point and the game against Italy. Yes, they can hope for points but should not count on a positive outcome. Bale's team needs a victory now, but even a draw will give a small opportunity of getting to the decisive part of the tournament. In the match against Switzerland, Wales showed nothing before the conceded goal. Only when the score was 1-0 did the team wake up and start creating chances. Like the Turks, the Wales national team finished last in the Euro qualification group in terms of production, with an average of two goals scored per game. In the World Cup qualifiers, the Dragons lost to Belgium (3-1) and beat the Czech Republic (1-0).
In spite of the indicators in the European Championship qualification, I am almost sure that the teams will show bright football with goals scored. Turkey will try to win and return to the race, so it is likely to run in the attack from the first minutes. Wales, on the other hand, knows how to delight with goals in the group stages, as it did in the 2016 European Championship (2-1, 2-1, and 0-3). And the Dragons already proved this in the first match, exchanging goals with Switzerland. Therefore, it is worth believing in a goal show in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
