Turkey and Wales will face off at the Cardiff City Stadium on June 5th in a crucial World Cup qualifier. Both teams are in contention for a spot in Qatar, and this match could be a pivotal moment in the race for qualification.

Turkey is currently in third place in Group G, four points behind leaders Netherlands and two points behind Norway. Wales is in fourth place, one point behind Turkey. A win for Turkey would put them level on points with Norway and boost their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.

Wales, on the other hand, needs a win to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. A loss would leave them five points behind Turkey with only two matches remaining.
