By Can Erozden

Vying for the UEFA Nations League A, Group B4 leaders Türkiye are set to visit Montenegro on Tuesday in Niksic to end the group phase.

Türkiye have 11 points to be on top of Group B4 before the final matches of this phase. Wales are second in this group with nine points in five matches.

In their previous fixture on Nov. 16, Türkiye were held to a 0-0 draw with visitors Wales as Benfica's Turkish forward Kerem Akturkoglu missed a penalty near the end of the match.

Craig Bellamy's Wales will host third-place Iceland at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday.

The Welsh national team must win against Iceland and wait for Türkiye's mistake in Montenegro to qualify for the League A directly.

Only the group winners in League B will be promoted to the top-tier League A without a playoff.

The third-ranked teams of League A and the runners-up of League B will play a home and away promotion/relegation playoffs.

The teams, which will finish League B groups in the third spot, will face the runners-up of League C in the promotion/relegation playoffs.

Iceland have seven points in the group and are seeking a playoff spot. They must win against Wales in Cardiff to finish second.

A loss in Cardiff will send Wales to the third position.

Montenegro lost all their matches in Group B4, and have been already relegated to the League C.

The knockout round playoff draw will be held on Nov. 22, and the playoffs for higher leagues will be played on March 20-23, 2025.

Tuesday's all league phase matches will start at 1945GMT.

Having competed in League B, England and Norway on Sunday were promoted to the League A after winning their groups each.

Portugal (Group A1), France and Italy (Group A2), Germany and the Netherlands (Group A3), and Spain (Group A4) have reached the home and away quarterfinals that will be held on March 20-23, 2025. The final tournament will be on June 4-8.
