Wales take on the visitors Gibraltar in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 11th.
Wales seem to have found the recipe for successful play. They managed to qualify for the previous two Euros, reaching the playoffs in both tournaments (in 2016, they even made it to the semi-finals). Last year, they finally returned to the World Cup, but Welsh did not show anything significant there, failing to advance beyond the group stage. And then their long-time leader, Bale, retired. Without Gareth, they seemed to start the new cycle well: they avoided defeat in Croatia, scoring a late equalizer, and won against Latvia. But then they only added 3 more points against the Baltic teams, losing to both Armenia and Turkey in June. So only a strong finish will allow them to contend for the second-place spot. Therefore, it's important to achieve success against the Checkereds on October 15th.

Gibraltar are predictably showing the most modest results. The Team 54 have only recently gained official status. However, they still lack any significant talent pool, representing a small enclave where not even 40,000 people live. Sometimes, they manage to win against other outsiders. But this year, they even lost to Malta in a friendly match, conceding 0-1. In the qualification matches, they suffered only dry defeats against Greece (twice), France, the Netherlands, and Ireland, losing 0-3 four times in a row, and in September, they lost 0-5.
This will be the first meeting between the national teams. Welsh should, of course, win, but they should conserve their energy for the official match. So let's focus on the prediction that in this match, there should be a total under 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
