On Saturday evening in Kayseri, Turkey, and Wales in a game which could decide a winner of the Nations League group. Turkey are the first on the table with ten points, and with a win, they would secure a place in a higher tier. On the other hand, Wales needs at least a draw to keep its chances of direct promotion alive. 

In the last few years, Turkish football has again been on the rise. At EURO, they lost in the quarterfinal against the Netherlands, but since then, Turkey has won ten points in four matches in the Nations League (League B). In October, they won 1-0 against Montenegro and 4-2 against Iceland. 

Wales failed to qualify for the previous EURO. However, in the Nations League, Wales didn't lose any matches, and they have a solid chance of winning promotion to the Nations League's best level. During October, Wales first played 2-2 in Iceland, while three days later, Craig Bellamy's team won 1-0 at home against Montenegro. If Wales fail to win on Saturday in Kayseri, they will likely continue competition in the promotion playoff. 

Turkey vs Wales pick: Over 2.5 goals

Turkey scored eight goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Wales scored five goals during the same span. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
