Wales' may have lost to Belgium last time out, but even the manner of that defeat – a tight 4-3 – signalled the momentum they've built under Bellamy, who was unbeaten in nine before that.

A draw or a win would have been sensational but Wales are still in a strong position, sitting second in Group J, having won two and drawn one before that defeat. However, with Belgium having played two games fewer, and with North Macedonia leading the way, Wales really need to be winning in Kazakhstan if they're serious about making it to the US, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
