Wales vs Kazakhstan prediction and betting tips on March 22, 2025
Game Prediction
In the first round of the World Cup qualifying in Europe on March 22, 2025, a match between the national teams of Wales and Kazakhstan will take place. The hosts are determined to start the new cycle with a confident victory over their opponent, who has come a long way.
Our prediction for the Wales vs Kazakhstan match
The Welsh team has recently regressed, undoubtedly connected to the departure of possibly the best player in their history - Bale. Without Gareth, the team didn't qualify for the first tournament, the Euros, though they were only set back by a penalty shootout misfortune in the decisive playoff round. They convincingly overcame Finland 4-1 but were defeated by Poland and Szczesny personally. Kazakhstan also participated in the playoffs for the first time but were promptly crushed by Greece.
After that, Adiev was replaced by Cherchesov. His tenure was short and unsuccessful. Starting with a goalless draw against Norway at home, the team then lost every match in the Nations League, including the home and away against the Scandinavians, and against Slovenia and Austria. Even after the managerial change in February, they lost 0-2 to North Korea in a friendly match. Under Bellamy, the Welsh showed decent performances - a couple of draws with the Turks, a couple of victories over Montenegro, and four points out of six possible against Iceland, just enough for the top spot. Turkey lagged by just one point, tripping in the last round!
Currently, Wales scores 1.3 goals per match. They concede noticeably less - 0.9, with defense remaining a trump card under the current coach, even though he was a forward in the past. The visitors' ratio is quite bleak - 0.4/2.4.
