EURO 2024 Qualifiers matchday 9 will take place over three days with two highly anticipated matches taking place in Armenia and Latvia on Saturday.

With the return of the Qualifiers this week, millions of fans worldwide are prepared for Europe’s flagship international competition.

In Group D, Wales could join Türkiye in punching their ticket to Euros if they beat Armenia in Yerevan and Croatia lose to Latvia on Saturday.

The Dragons are currently level on points with Croatia with 10 points in six games but they are ahead of the Croatians due to a better head-to-head record.

On Oct. 15, Wales upset Croatia with a 2-1 result at Cardiff City Stadium as Harry Wilson scored twice.

Highly anticipated match

Türkiye reached their third consecutive EURO finals after posting a 4-0 victory at home to Latvia on matchday 8.

The Turkish national team have been knocked out in the group stage in their last two appearances but memorably made it to the 2008 semifinals, when they lost 3-2 to Germany in a thriller clash.

Meanwhile, Armenia will be unable to finish in the top two if they lose, or if they draw and Croatia clinch a win.

Türkiye, who has no game this week will visit Wales on Nov. 21.
