After holding Switzerland to a 1-1 draw, Wales will be aiming to record their first victory in this showcase as they take on a wounded Turkey side on matchday two.
The Dragons initially went behind thanks to a powerful header from Breel Embolo but answered at the latter stages of the game through Kieffer Moore’s header.
Turkey had a poor start to the campaign, suffering a 3-0 defeat on opening day. Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne and a Demiral own goal downed The Crescent-Stars to a humiliating defeat.
Wales to register first win
Although Turkey will be facing relatively weaker opponents in Wales as compared to Italy, they will likely find it just as hard to get any result.
Wales can boast of some quality players like Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale who can cause huge problems if they are up to it.
Turkey will however hope that Hakan Calhanoglu and Yilmaz bring their best and help the side to a relatively unlikely victory.
Team news
Turkey predicted XI: Cakir, Celik, Demiral, Soyuncu, Meras, Yokuslu, Karaman, Yacizi, Tufan, Calhanoglu, Yilmaz
Wales predicted XI: Ward, Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies, Allen, Bale, Morrell, Ramsey, James, Moore
