A new era begins for Wales tonight as Craig Bellamy leads the Dragons into battle for the first time in the UEFA Nations League.
The former Liverpool and Newcastle striker will be desperate to get off to a winning start but it won't be easy as Turkey head to Cardiff.
The Turks caught the eye at Euro 2024 as they reached the quarter-finals and have the firepower to test Bellamy's defence.
Thousands of ex-pat fans made Turkey's games in Germany feel like they were being held in Istanbul but it will be a different story tonight.
And Bellamy will be hoping the Cardiff crowd can help his players edge out the Turks for a memorable win.

Wales vs Turkey top betting tips
These sides faced off in Euro 2024 qualifying, and the clash in Cardiff ended in a 1-1 draw. Another stalemate tonight stands a chance at 2/1 with Betfred, but it's safer to go for the half-time stalemate at 21/20.
Bellamy will have his players fired up and Ethan Ampadu looks worth a punt at 21/10 for a card with Bet365 given he'll be at the heart of the battle. Turkey's Kaan Ayhan is no shrinking violet either, and he's 13/5 to go in the book.
Both teams should have a go, so I like over 2.5 goals at 6/5 with Betfred, while over 9.5 corners also appeals at 10/11. With the Welsh at home, I fancy them for most corners as well at 11/10.
France vs Italy top tips
Two of the big underachievers at Euro 2024 face off tonight in a blockbuster UEFA Nations League clash as France host Italy.
Defending champions Italy bowed out in the last 16 this summer to Switzerland while the French limped into the semi-finals before being toppled by Spain.
So they will both have a point to prove in Paris tonight as they return to action for the first time. Betfred make the French 3/5 favourites at home and it's hard to disagree as they have the stronger team.
Kylian Mbappe headed into the international break after scoring his first La Liga goals for Real Madrid with a double against Real Betis. He's 11/10 for a goal tonight and is always worth backing at that kind of price.
The Italians are missing a lot of players through injury so the 9/5 on offer at Betfred for France -1 in the handicap could offer some value.
Belgium vs Israel top betting tips
Belgium are another team who disappointed at Euro 2024 and it will be interesting to see how they react against Israel in their UEFA Nations League opener.
Romelu Lukaku sits this one out for the Red Devils so Lois Openda should start up front. He's odds-on with most firms for an anytime scorer, but Bet365 prices him at 5/4, which looks like decent value.
The Israelis look like a team in transition, so if their best players hit form, this should be a comfortable win for the Belgians. Combining the home win with under 3.5 goals could pay off at 21/20 in a Betfred bet builder.

Serious question mate ☝️do u ever chase losses?

Hi AC1987
Great question
When i was younger 18-25 yes of course, chasef all the time.
From about 26 till now (alot older)
Probably matured and over the years i found i learnt to stick to sports i enjoy horse racing was my main one for many years but i rarely do that now.
Boxing for the bigger fights
Mostly just football now.
I don’t chase no
I don’t really go for the big games i find better value in more obscure matches.
I do quite well every week to be honest but it’s taken decades to get here
I have my funds for each day and build it up throughout the day of course you get days where you don’t do so well but if i break even by the end that’s ok.
What’s helps is I’m autistic so looking at stats and remember matches etc really helps
And i look at inplay stats alot and you see patterns and can see the way matches are going.
But no i don’t chase her enjoy each day
Betting or not im always watching the stats
Thanks for replying. I can sympathise with u regarding yourself having autism, it’s classed as a disability but in certain walks of life it is a gift 👍
Exactly that of course there are many negatives
But you have to find the collateral beauty and for me that’s making money and my head just loves the numbers.

World ranked 170 v 86 and Curacao ranked too high based on the fact they were relegated to league B of their nations league.
But they should still have too much for a Lucia team who are poor, but normally good for a goal.
Prediction 1-2
Hi Elvis, can I ask mate…have you stopped posting on the racing page?
Jumping on this match thanks to mr parsley for shining a light on it.
I think this either going to be 1 goal or plenty
I’m going for the latter here

Over 1.5 13/8
Over 2.5 5/1

Over 4.5 4/1

More of a feeling than a calculated guess on these so small stakes
Aye kf.
Not saying too much or I’ll get put back in moderation land, was there for a good while following an exchange of views with an admin there following a one line joke I had with bus stop.
Basically bus stop had 3/4 winners at decent prices so I said to him the guy on the lucky 15 thread could do with them to boost his stats followed by a 🤣 which to most people would read a tongue in cheek remark but from the next morning everything I post went to moderation and by the time the site admin whoever they are got round to unmoderating them the race or footy pick would be over.
If posters ask me a question I will answer honestly, don’t see the point of blowing smoke up people’s arses when you don’t agree with them.
That’s a downfall of mine in that I will say what I think I guess but we are all different aren’t we.
I don’t think we need 3 tipsters on the racing thread especially as the new + and – points they swear by is now spread between 2 people officially or 3 if you follow the lucky 15 thread religiously as well so no accountability really.
If they use points they should live or die by them as an individual and not as an US or a WE.
i don’t like using points as your next picks could be influenced by what’s gone on before especially if you are running at a loss, potential for chasing a minus on the stats in other words.
For me you live or die by today’s tips, if they win, you take the acclaim and move on.
If they lose they go in the recycle bin and tomorrow is another day, a new dawn and this time next year we’ll be millionaires Rodney 🤣🤣 type thing..
Bet you’re sorry you asked now KF 🤣.
I’m probably back in moderation jail again now mate.
Just sat through 90 minutes of dross in Cardiff, 0-0 and both teams were lucky to get nil tbh.
a3780cd hopefully pick up 2nd half for you,swings and roundabouts,bookie pays thousands for people to set odds,often have to take my hat off to them as had 2 early goals then nowt and loads of corners then nowt but miss by one,very clever and never far away,well can’t be as would be out of business,fingers crossed👊
