Wales can take a huge step towards Euro 2024 qualification if they can beat Armenia in Yerevan on Saturday afternoon. With just two games left, Wales are level on points with Croatia in second place in Group D. With leaders Turkey looking certain to claim one of the qualification places, the other looks to be a straight shootout between the Welsh and last year’s World Cup semi finalists.
Before looking at your betting apps to find the latest odds on the game, make sure you read this expert article. Our sports betting writers have studied the formbook and weighed up the key stats in order to bring you their exclusive prediction for the game.
Whilst they technically still have a chance of qualification, it would require a highly unlikely set of results for Armenia to finish in the top two of Group D. That being said, the fact they are still in with a chance is a sign of solid progress for a squad that had won just one of their previous 13 competitive games before this campaign.
A narrow 0-1 defeat at home to Croatia last time out put a huge dent in their hopes of progress. But if they can complete a famous double over Wales, they will go into the final round of fixtures still in the running for a top two finish.
The next few days will be decisive for Wales as they attempt to reach the European Championships for the third time in their history. Last month's famous win over Croatia has put Wales in an excellent position, but that will all go to waste if they fail to win on Saturday.
That win over Croatia was thanks to a brace from Fulham’s Harry Wilson. The midfielder is yet to get off the mark for his club this season, but his form for Wales will be vital over the next few days.
The two sides have met three times previously and Wales are still looking for their first victory in the matchup. Armenia won 4-2 in Cardiff earlier in the campaign, whilst their other two meetings (during World Cup 2002 qualification) both ended in draws.

Wales are currently priced as even money favourites to claim a vital away win. The home side can be backed at around 17/5, with the draw available at 5/2.
This is an absolutely huge game for Wales, but we think they are going to fall short. In the reverse fixture, Armenia shocked Wales with the pace and guile of their attacks. Their 4-2 victory was fully deserved and exposed a few limitations in the Wales team.
Wales have improved their form since that defeat, but there will be a lot of pressure on them here. If the game is close, then Wales will have to chase the win. That could open the door for Armenia to hit them on the break again. 17/5 looks like an excellent price for the home side to complete a famous double and scupper Welsh chances.
