A lengthy hop from Cardiff, the Astana Arena is the venue for today’s match between Kazakhstan and a Wales side who have never travelled further for a World Cup qualifier. While many Uefa groups are only getting started in the current international window, Group J is already well under way and Wales currently sit second behind leaders North Macedonia, who have one point more than Craig Bellamy’s side after four games each. Belgium currently occupy third spot but will overtake both the teams ahead of them if they win their two games in hand.“,”elementId”:”1c2346b8-349c-4f79-92bf-c468e23c1a60″},{“_type”:”model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement”,”html”:”
The upshot is that today’s match is veering perilously close to must-win territory for the Welsh and is unquestionably of the must-not-lose variety. Despite travelling around 3,500 kilometres to fulfill this fixture on an artificial pitch that isn’t entirely to their manager’s liking, the visitors will be hopeful of repeating their victory over the Kazakhs in Cardiff back in March. A more emphatic and less nervy win would be welcome. Kick off in the Kazakh capital is at 3pm (BST) but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.
