Ramsey was always going to get more space in this game but I must to admit I wasn't optimistic that he'd make it count - not over yet but that was a great goal.
The home crowd will be heavily skewed towards Turkey and they will be desperate to bounce back from their defeat to Italy. Those circumstances could mean a tough night for Wales. Calhanoglu is good from free kicks and Ben Davies will have to be careful to manage Ünder. However, Wales have several players of their own that could cause Turkey problems (e.g. Bale, Ramsey. Moore, Brooks). I suspect Turkey will get some early chances and maybe even an early goal but Wales may also have the resilience to come from behind again and at least get a draw. If it opens up there might even be a couple more goals in it. Turkey 2-2 Wales
Wales have been rightly criticised for a recent lack of goals. However, I remember similar comments in 2016 before Wales put 3 past Russia and 3 past Belgium (with six different goal scorers). Football is a funny old game.
Ancelotti may give Bale another chance at Real Madrid based on his performances in the euros so far.
This is not the same Bale who played for real madrid lol
I'm sad that I'm not in Baku but overall I'm still ecstatic!
Wales deserved the win.I never thought Turkey could be so bad.
@Rensen it's true Turkey should have played better given their qualifying campaign
The best match in tournament for me.
@tar88s Why is that ?
@neumi17 what is your pick? :)
@tar88s I agree but I'm totally biased
An objectively excellent result and performance for Wales given the heat and crowd proportions!
I nearly pointed out that Wales have recently scored a lot of late goals. I didn't want to curse them.
The scoreline still flatters turkey, bale absolutely amazing, may have lost a bit off his pace still great. Good watch overall as well.
@Real_Madrid oops I may have accidentally reported your comment. Over excited fingers!
@Real_Madrid love your work :)
BBCs Chris Sutton strongly implied that Wales would get zero points from Switzerland and Turkey :)
Ship the Over 1.5!
That was not actually the clearance for Morrell, the ball was clearly going wide.
@tar88s true but it looked great on first watch
turkey will score second half
@Sexyboy1 Your predictions are not sexy
Bale OMG, Gareth Lionel Bale, que passes, very underrated player, always was.
Ramsey was always going to get more space in this game but I must to admit I wasn't optimistic that he'd make it count - not over yet but that was a great goal.
Both to score and X2.
Wales win
Leaning Over 1.5
Azerbaijan (Baku)–Turkey relations have always been strong with the two often being described as "one nation with two states.
@Rensen the BBC just quoted you word for word ;)
The heat is also unlikely to do any favours for Wales.

There will be 30,000 turkish fans in baku for this game.
@Rensen it looks like it's Turkey that have the red wall this tournament.
@Rensen I had a ticket for this match but had to give it up :/
@MEHJones Unfortunate mate
@FerreiraCarrasco yeah although I'm watching from the Famous Three Kings pub in London which isn't a bad alternative venue.
Turkey will bounce back and win this @ good odds
