How can we finish as group leaders? The national team's chances of topping the group

The Turkish National Football Team, which is in the lead after winning its last two matches in Group D of the EURO 2024 Qualifiers, is heading to Wales for its final match. Ahead of the match, which will kick off on Tuesday, November 21, at 22:45 TSI, Turkey is making plans to finish the group as leaders. Here are all the possibilities for the national team to become group leaders...

Since the Armenia-Wales match played yesterday ended in a 1-1 draw, Wales' chance of finishing the group as leaders has been eliminated. On the other hand, Croatia maintained its second place in the group by defeating Latvia 2-0 away in a match also played yesterday.

WALES HAS THE ADVANTAGE IN HEAD-TO-HEAD

Wales, which still has a chance for second place, will go into the match against Turkey with the sole objective of winning. In addition to the advantage of having a better head-to-head record against Croatia, Wales also has to wait for Croatia to drop points.

For Croatia, a win against Armenia will be enough to secure second place in the group. If they drop points, they will have to wait for Turkey to take points from Wales.

THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO

If Croatia wins against Armenia and Turkey loses to Wales, the Croatians will finish the group as leaders.

HOW DO WE FINISH AS LEADERS?

1 point is enough for the A National Football Team to secure the group lead. In the event of a loss to Wales, they will have to wait for Croatia to drop points to secure the lead.

Here is the standings table for Group D, where Turkey is located:

1- Turkey: 7 matches, 16 points

2- Croatia: 7 matches, 13 points

3- Wales: 7 matches, 11 points

4- Armenia: 7 matches, 8 points

5- Latvia: 8 matches, 3 points
