Wales – England

The favourite to clinch the three points in the decisive group stage match

Wales and England will meet on 29 November in the third round of the 2022 World Cup group stage. Before the last round, the English top the Group B table, while the Welsh team are at the bottom of the quartet. The Foggy Albion derby promises to be very interesting and intriguing. However, it's hard for Wales to expect to make the playoffs. The Welsh need to win by four goals. That would make them look fantastic. Wales have only scored one goal in 180 minutes of playing time, and that from a penalty shoot-out. And now they have four goals to send back to England. Gareth Southgate's side at the 2022 World Cup have yet to give a full picture of their strength. A crushing 6-2 draw with Iran was followed by a nil draw with the USA. In the game against the Americans, Gareth Southgate opted for defensive tactics, shutting down the strengths of Sterling and Sack, who played magnificently against Iran. But in the end, the plan worked, with England a micro-step away from the World Cup play-offs. While Wales managed to secure a 1-1 draw against the USA in the first round, which suited them well as the Americans were the main contenders for second place before the start of the group stage, the Dragons failed in the second round, suffering a 0-2 defeat against Iran. The key moment came in the 86th minute, when Wayne Hennessey was red carded for a foul outside the penalty box. Iran managed to convert the numerical advantage by scoring two goals in the penalty area. It is worth noting that England have beaten Wales in each of their last six matches. In five of them, the English have not even conceded a goal. It is unlikely to be a sensation. "The Dragons have never beaten the Three Lions. Nor will they be able to win a historic first-leg victory this time, because they are far inferior in terms of their level of play, and England are also far too motivated. Southgate's side need a win to guarantee top spot in the group. It's worth agreeing with the bookmakers' betting odds. The favourite will clinch the three points.
