Prediction: Wales to be ahead at half time and win at full time
Best Odds: 1/5
Liechtenstein and Wales will lock horns with each other in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification this weekend. The UEFA Group J game between Konrad Funfstück’s side and Craig Bellamy’s team will be held at the Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz and is scheduled to kick off at 5pm UK time on Saturday.
Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein are one of the worst teams in the world. No one expects them to ever qualify for any major competitions or even do well in the qualifying campaign, and that is not going to change in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group J.
Konrad Fünfstück’s side are at the foot of Group J at the moment. Liechtenstein have not picked up a single point from their six games in the group.
Liechtenstein have already been eliminatd from the qualification and will be playing only for pride against Wales.
Team News:
Benjamin Buchel, Gabriel Foser, Max Goppel, Jens Hofer, Liam Kranz, Alessio Hasley, Dennis Salanovic, Lukas Graber, Nicolas Hasler, Sandro Wolfinger, Niklas Beck, Ferhat Saglam and Emanuel Zund are all part of the Liechtenstein squad.
Wales
Wales are a major footballing nation in Europe now and have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. The Dragons qualified for the 2022 World Cup finals, reached the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2016 and also progressed to the round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2020.
Craig Bellamy’s side will have fancied their chances of winning 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group J, but they will now have to fight forthe playoff spot.
Wales are third in the group with 10 points from six matches, three points behind second-placed North Macedonia and four points behind leaders Belgium.
Team News:
Ben Davies and Kieffer Moore will miss Wales’s final World Cup qualifying group games against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia due to injury. Swansea City defender Ben Cabango is also out of the squad. Karl Darlow, Neco Williams, Joe Rodon, Harry Wilson, Joshua Sheehan, Liam Cullen and Mark Harris are all part of the Wales squad.
