The World Cup qualifiers keep rolling, and Thursday night gives us Kazakhstan vs Wales. The hosts are fighting for pride and consistency, while the Welsh are chasing momentum after that tough loss to Belgium.
So, who’s taking control this time? Let’s dig in.
Kazakhstan don’t have many big names, but they’ve got fight. Askhat Tagybergen remains their heartbeat in midfield, and they’ll lean on him to control the tempo. Baktiyar Zaynutdinov is another danger man, capable of carrying the ball and sparking counters. The issue? They’ve struggled at both ends — not scoring enough, and conceding too many.
On the flip side, Wales have a stronger squad on paper. Harry Wilson and Brennan Johnson have been sharp in front of goal, while Sorba Thomas gives them energy and creativity. Craig Bellamy still has defensive headaches though. His side have only kept one clean sheet in their last six, and that’s the main concern heading into this trip.
Likely Lineups
Kazakhstan: Shatskiy; Vorogovskiy, Marochkin, Maliy, Orazov; Tagybergen, Alip, Beysebekov; Zaynutdinov, Islamkhan; Aymbetov
Wales: Ward; Roberts, Rodon, Mepham, Davies; Ampadu, Levitt; Wilson, Thomas, James; Johnson
Here’s what I think… Kazakhstan will put up a fight, but Wales should have too much going forward. Both sides tend to score, and both concede plenty, so I don’t see this finishing goalless.
Betting angles worth a look:
Kazakhstan have lost 13 of their last 16, which is a brutal stat. Meanwhile, Wales have scored three or more goals in four of their last five. That feels like the difference-maker.
Wales are going to push high, dominate the ball, and create chances. Kazakhstan’s best shot is hitting on the break, and with home advantage they might sneak one. But over 90 minutes, Bellamy’s side should be too strong.
Match Prediction: Wales to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards 2-1 Wales. Kazakhstan will fight in front of their home crowd, but the Welsh attack has more firepower and should get the job done.
Correct Score Prediction: Kazakhstan 1-2 Wales. Bet with bet365.
The numbers point to goals. Kazakhstan’s last six games saw 16 goals in total, while Wales matches average 3.5 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals looks solid, but if you want a bigger swing, over 3.5 is worth a cheeky punt.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo I like for Thursday:
That’s your attacking football special – and it fits how I see this one playing out.
Bet Builder Tip: Wales to Win, BTTS Yes, Brennan Johnson Anytime Scorer & Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
