Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia in Skopje, Wales will look to return to winning ways in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers when they take on Liechtenstein on Friday evening. The Dragons are seen as hot favourites to win this match, but boss Craig Bellamy must warn his men against complacency. The good news for the hosts is that both Ethan Ampadu and Harry Wilson are back to the squad after overcoming their respective injuries. Captain Aaron Ramsey, though, remains in the recovery room.
The Blue-Reds, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in the Cardiff City Stadium clash. As David faces Goliath in the Welsh capital, anything but a routine home win would be a big shock. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Cardiff. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Wales defeated Liechtenstein 2-0.
Highlighted Team (Wales):

Despite being part of the United Kingdom, Wales national football team has been competing in FIFA tournaments since 1950, although they have so far only reached two tournament finals. The Dragons surprised everyone by making it to the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, but little did they know that it would remain their only World Cup appearance up to date.
Wales had plenty of problems in the European Championship qualifiers as well, but they finally managed to end the barren run by securing their place at the Euro 2016 in France. Led by the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Ashley Williams, the Dragons performed admirably throughout the campaign and even reached the 8th position in the FIFA Rankings in October 2015.
Neville Southall remains the team’s most capped player, but the generation that included Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy and John Hartson will also be remembered for some impressive performances against top European national teams.
