Wales vs Bosnia preview

Wales walloped North Macedonia 7-1 in their final World Cup qualifying Group J game in Cardiff but Welsh fans will be steeling themselves for a tighter contest this evening.

Cardiff hosts the Path A playoff semi-final versus Bosnia and Wales have had contrasting fortunes in qualifying playoffs recently.

They edged past Austria 2-1 and Ukraine 1-0 to reach the 2022 World Cup and thumped Finland 4-1 in the Euro 2024 certifying playoff semi-final.

But Wales lost on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes in the last against Poland and a favorable method will be important if they are to see off Bosnia.

Craig Bellamy took control of a group who had simply drawn 0-0 with Gibraltar and lost 4-0 to Slovakia in a number of miserable friendly screens in June 2024.

Bellamy's commitment to high-intensity, attacking football was rewarded with a nine-game unbeaten run at the start of his reign.

Wales were outclassed in a 3-0 friendly loss to England in October but their only competitive defeats under Bellamy were 4-3 and 4-2 reverses against Group J winners Belgium.

Backing Wales to win a video game including over 2.5 goals looks a great bet as Brennan Johnson, David Brooks and the respected Harry Wilson bring Premier League quality to their forward line.

Bosnia are still heavily dependent on the 40-year-old Edin Dzeko, now playing for Schalke in the German 2nd department, and Wales needs to make home advantage count.

Bosnia required a 66th-minute Dzeko objective to seal a 1-0 home win over San Marino in June 2025 and blew a 2-0 lead in October's 2-2 draw in Cyprus.

They clinched 2nd place behind Group H winners Austria with a 3-1 home win over Romania but the rating was level at 1-1 before Denis Dragus was sent out off for the visitors in the 67th minute.

Bosnia's 2024-25 Nations League results consisted of heavy away defeats against the Netherlands (5-2) and Germany (7-0) and they may have a hard time to reject Wales a home playoff final versus Italy or Northern Ireland.

Katic might be captured out by Wales forwards

Bosnian centre-back Nikola Katic, a teammate of Dzeko at Schalke, has gotten five yellow cards in this season's 2. Bundesliga and looks a big cost to be booked in Cardiff.

Katic faces a tricky test versus pacy Crystal Palace forward Johnson and he was warned in 2 of his last 3 qualifiers, against Austria and Romania.

Back Rodon to increase to the celebration in Cardiff

The 6ft 4in Katic had three efforts at objective against Austria and scored in October's draw in Cyprus but Wales have their own aerial danger in the shape of Leeds defender Joe Rodon.

He has actually scored two times in this term's Premier League and matched that tally during Wales's Group J campaign, discovering the web in home components against Liechtenstein and Belgium.
