Thursday night will see Wales host Bosnia & Herzegovina as both teams look to progress in their bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The hosts are looking to replicate their success in 2022 and qualify for the World Cup by way of the play-offs.
Manager Craig Bellamy’s side finished second in Group J, having taken 16 points from their eight matches, winning all but three.
Two losses to Belgium and a draw away to North Macedonia prevented Wales from qualifying automatically, so they now prepare to face Bosnia & Herzegovina, who are unbeaten in their last four away matches.
Manager Sergej Barbarez’s side finished second to Austria in Group H of the qualifiers, with only one loss – which came against Austria – preventing them from automatic qualification.
The winner of this match will face the winner of Italy vs Northern Ireland in one of next week’s crucial play-off finals.
What are the best bets for Wales vs Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Wales to win, Both teams to score
Wales probably boast more quality than their Eastern European opponents, despite their solid record in their recent World Cup qualifiers.
The hosts will be desperate to qualify for back-to-back World Cups, whilst Bosnia & Herzegovina are looking to qualify for their second World Cup since becoming an independent nation.
My advice is to back Wales to win and for both teams to score, as I expect that this will be a very competitive game.
Harry Wilson to score or assist
Wales will look to Harry Wilson to continue his good form and create chances to score. I am taking him to add to his seven goals and assists so far this tournament.
