On Wednesday evening, Robert Page’s Wales will face Gibraltar at the iconic Racecourse Ground, the home of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned Wrexham Football Club. This friendly match serves as a warm-up before a crucial encounter against Croatia on Sunday.
Page has been facing significant pressure due to his side’s recent poor form. However, their last outing in Riga brought some relief, as they secured a 2-0 victory against Latvia. In their Euro 2024 qualifying group, they currently occupy the fourth position, trailing three points behind leaders Croatia and second-placed Turkey. With upcoming matches against Armenia and Turkey, two teams that have previously defeated them, Wales aims to secure at least a point on Sunday.
Considering these factors, it’s reasonable to assume that Wales might not put in their maximum effort in the Gibraltar match, with their focus on the upcoming important fixture. Additionally, several key players, including Aaron Ramsey, Brennan Johnson, and Rabbi Matondo, are unavailable for this set of fixtures. However, there is a positive note as Daniel James from Leeds United returns after missing the previous match.
Page has been quoted in his latest press conference that the Gibraltar games will be used to blood some youngster into the fold with six uncapped players called up into the 26-man squad. Wycombe’s Joe Low, Regan Poole of Portsmouth, Dundee’s Owen Beck, Reading’s Charlie Savage, Luke Cullen of Swansea City and Luke Harris of Fulham are all looking to get a piece of the action.
Their opponents Gibraltar managed to secure a couple of friendly victories against Andorra and Liechtenstein last year but performances in the qualifiers has regressed to their previous standards. They have suffered defeats in all five of their games and have yet to score a single goal in any of those matches.
In conclusion, despite missing key players, Wales will win this match, while I fully expect Gibraltar to struggle to find the back of the net. The Welsh team’s focus may already be on Sunday’s crucial game, making this a good opportunity to bank some profit. Given these factors, I see a 2-0 or 3-0 victory for Wales the most likely outcome.
