Wales vs Bosnia preview

Wales walloped North Macedonia 7-1 in their final World Cup certifying Group J video game in Cardiff however Welsh fans will be steeling themselves for a tighter contest this night.

Cardiff hosts the Path A playoff semi-final against Bosnia and Wales have actually had contrasting fortunes in qualifying playoffs recently.

They edged previous Austria 2-1 and Ukraine 1-0 to reach the 2022 World Cup and thumped Finland 4-1 in the Euro 2024 certifying playoff semi-final.

But Wales lost on charges after a goalless 120 minutes in the final versus Poland and a favorable method will be crucial if they are to see off Bosnia.

Craig Bellamy took control of a group who had simply drawn 0-0 with Gibraltar and lost 4-0 to Slovakia in a number of miserable friendly screens in June 2024.

Bellamy's dedication to high-intensity, attacking football was rewarded with a nine-game unbeaten perform at the start of his reign.

Wales were beat in a 3-0 friendly loss to England in October but their only competitive beats under Bellamy were 4-3 and 4-2 reverses against Group J winners Belgium.

Backing Wales to win a game featuring over 2.5 goals looks a great bet as Brennan Johnson, David Brooks and the respected Harry Wilson bring Premier League quality to their forward line.

Bosnia are still heavily reliant on the 40-year-old Edin Dzeko, now betting Schalke in the German 2nd division, and Wales needs to make home benefit count.

They clinched second location behind Group H winners Austria with a 3-1 home win over Romania however the rating was level at 1-1 before Denis Dragus was dispatched for the visitors in the 67th minute.

Bosnia's 2024-25 Nations League results consisted of heavy away defeats versus the Netherlands (5-2) and Germany (7-0) and they may have a hard time to reject Wales a home playoff last against Italy or Northern Ireland.

Katic might be captured out by Wales forwards

Katic faces a challenging test versus pacy Crystal Palace forward Johnson and he was cautioned in two of his last three qualifiers, versus Austria and Romania.

Back Rodon to rise to the occasion in Cardiff

The 6ft 4in Katic had 3 efforts at goal versus Austria and scored in October's attract Cyprus but Wales have their own aerial threat in the shape of Leeds protector Joe Rodon.

He has actually scored two times in this term's Premier League and matched that tally during Wales's Group J project, discovering the web in home components versus Liechtenstein and Belgium.
