Team News
Ampadu misses out for Wales due to suspension after he picked up a booking against Belarus. Whereas, Belgium might use a changed squad for this one as they have sealed qualification to the World Cup with a game to spare.
Wales possible 11:
Ward, Mepham, Rodon, Davies, Williams, Roberts, Ramsey, Allen, Wilson, James and Bale
Belgium possible 11:
Courtois, Castagne, Denayer, Vertonghen, Meunier, De Bruyne, Witsel, T Hazard, Mertens, Benteke and Carrasco
Prediction: Wales 1-2 Belgium Â
As expected, Belgium would be changed due to their qualification and could give chances to the players who’ve not got much game time.
Wales need to do all the running in this one as their World Cup spot is on the line.
Czech Republic too would be watching keen as they could come from behind and displace Wales.
We expect a quality clash in this one but with Belgium’s firepower and ability, the Red Devils should win this one.
