Wales will conclude their Euro 2024 qualifying on Tuesday night against Turkey, with Rob Page’s side’s automatic qualification hopes hanging by a thread.

Having suffered a disappointing 1-1 draw against Armenia, Wales’ top-two hopes are now out of their hands following Croatia’s 2-0 win over Latvia.

The home side must win against already-qualified Turkey and hope Croatia slip up against Armenia or face a playoff fixture in March for a spot in next summer’s tournament.

Fresh off their impressive 3-2 away win against Germany, Turkey will be looking to secure the top spot in Group D and top seeding ahead of the Euros draw.

Here’s everything you need to know, while you can find the latest odds and free bets from the best betting sites.
