Wales welcome Turkey to the Olympic Stadium in Baku at Euro 2020 on Wednesday.

Turkey were comfortably defeated by Italy in the opening game of the tournament in Rome, with an own goal, Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne doing the damage.

The 3-0 loss was arguably flattering for this young Turkish team, and they need a positive result against Wales to stand a chance of progressing.

Wales drew 1-1 with Switzerland in their opening game, with Kieffer Moore’s header snatching a point for the Dragons after Breel Embolo had opened the scoring.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match:
