Both Wales and Turkey were outplayed in their opening fixtures at Euro 2020 though Wales managed to rally and win a point as Turkey were well beaten.

That defeat was the second time in seven matches that they failed to score and having scored two or more goals in five of the seven, they’ll want to be more explorative against Wales. Burak Yilmaz was isolated in a one-man attack against Italy but Senol Gunes will definitely go for a lesser defensive approach and add focus on the attack when facing Wales.

With a win the target for both teams, Wales may start with the two upfront
