Gibraltar take on the visitors Wales in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Thursday, June 6th at Estádio Algarve (Faro/Loulé).
Gibraltar returns to being one of the main underdogs in Europe. Team 54 has had only one notable achievement in its short history. They managed to win their group in the penultimate edition of the Nations League. However, this success came by being simply stronger than fellow underdogs like San Marino and Liechtenstein. On a higher level, they predictably failed to make an impact. After losing the playoff matches to Lithuania in March (both 0-1), the underdog returns to Division D, joining the company of the weakest teams. Simultaneously, they predictably failed another qualification round—just like in previous qualifications, in 2023 Gibraltar lost all of their matches. They even started the summer with a 0-2 loss to Scotland, which isn't the worst result for an underdog.

Wales didn't impress much in 2022, even with Gareth Bale. They finished fourth in their Nations League group and managed only one draw in the World Cup, salvaged against the USA thanks to a late penalty. However, at least they qualified for the World Cup back then. This wasn't the case for the Euros, failing both in the traditional qualifiers, losing to Turkey and a less-than-perfect Croatia, and in the Nations League path in March. They were close, though. After crushing Finland in the first round, they played a pragmatic match against Poland in Cardiff, with no goals scored in over 120 minutes. However, Szczesny saved a penalty in the shootout. Now, Rob Page's team is starting preparations for the new cycle, doing so without their current captain—Aaron Ramsey, who has been allowed to go on vacation early due to his evident decline.
In October last year, the teams played a friendly match in Cardiff. The hosts secured a 4-0 win before halftime, with Moore scoring a brace. Wales is seen as the clear favorite. However, the match is unlikely to be particularly exciting—the favorite is quite pragmatic and not in their best form. Bet on total under 4.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 scored goals.
