Pakistan vs Wales prediction
Both Pakistan and Wales are coming off the back of defeats, Pakistan having been thrashed by England 4-1 and Wales losing 3-1 to India. Whilst both at least got on the scoresheet, their defending needs improvement and defeat for either in this contest will see them eliminated with one pool game to spare.
The reality is a draw helps neither. Victory is required and with that in mind, expect an attacking game despite how bad both were defensively in terms of goals conceded last time out. Therefore, back Pakistan and Wales to duel out a high-scorer, regardless of the eventual winner.
Pakistan vs Wales tip: Over 4.5 total goals
