Kazakhstan vs Wales prediction
Kazakhstan come into this one on the back of suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to North Macedonia in their third qualifying game in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in mid-June. The Kazakhs had defeated Liechtenstein away from home by two goals to nil but they are declining and going through a major change of the guard.
They now face a Wales side that, coached by Craig Bellamy, have put in some excellent performances, but they have often flattered to deceive. They came close to a crucial point last time out as they fought back from 3-0 down to get back to 3-3 in Belgium in June, before then conceding a late Kevin De Bruyne winner.
The Welsh will head east looking to continue to play with their newfound verve and, up against a bizarre and inexperienced Kazakh squad, Wales should win quite comfortably.
