Wrexham Awaits: Wales and Gibraltar Square Off in Friendly Duel
Key Stats
– Gibraltar have not scored a single goal in the current Euro 2024 qualifiers.
– Harry Wilson, with a score of 1 goal in the qualifiers, is a key player to watch for Wales.
In a fascinating encounter set to unfold at Wrexham, Wales will play host to Gibraltar. As the Dragons look to rediscover their form, the focus will also be on the visitors who have found wins hard to come by.
The Hosts – Wales: In Search of Former Glory
Wales, once considered among the top-tier of international football, especially after their exploits in recent tournaments, are now at a crossroad. A mere year after their World Cup participation, the Dragons have faced challenges. There have been rising calls for Robert Page, the Wales manager, to reconsider his role. The unexpected draw against Croatia, followed by an unsettling defeat to Armenia, has created doubts about the team’s potential in upcoming tournaments. Currently, three points off the lead in Group D, they’ve seen victory only against Latvia and still have to face superior ranked teams.

Interestingly, Wales showcased a decent form in September, managing to draw against South Korea and register a win against Latvia. This performance, however, comes with a caveat; they were without two of their prominent players.
The Visitors – Gibraltar: The Underdogs
Gibraltar’s journey in the Euro 2024 qualifiers has been daunting. Drawn against heavyweights like France and the Netherlands, their path to success was always going to be challenging. True to predictions, Gibraltar faced five successive defeats, conceding a staggering 17 goals without a single goal in their favour. While a narrow 1-0 loss to Malta offered a glimmer of hope, they remain underdogs against Wales, especially given their track record of just two away goals in two years.
Team News
Wales, already without the services of Aaron Ramsey and Brennan Johnson, will probably not risk their key players. With potential debuts for Regan Poole and Owen Beck, and the inclusion of David Brooks, there could be several fresh faces. Gibraltar, with the prospect of a historical result, might see Jayce Olivero fill in for the missing Niels Hartman.
Wales Predicted Lineup: A.Davies; Poole, Lockyer, B.Davies; Roberts, Sheehan, Levitt, Beck; Brooks, Broadhead; Bradshaw.
Gibraltar Predicted Lineup: Coleing; Olivero, Britto, R.Chipolina, Mouelhi; Jolley, Sergeant; Ronan, Pozo, Walker; De Barr.
Analysis of Teams’ Performance
In their European Championship qualification journey for 2024, Wales, with an average BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 6.83, stands 26th out of 53. Their impressive players include Harry Wilson and Daniel James, both of whom have managed to score in the tournament. With an average ball possession of 48.4%, they’ve scored a total of six goals, showing a decent offensive capability.
Contrastingly, Gibraltar, ranking 51st out of 53, with a BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 6.40, are yet to find the back of the net. Their defence, with an average of 3.4 goals conceded per game, remains a significant concern.
Predictions
- Match Outcome Prediction: Given the current forms, a win for Wales seems the most probable outcome. The stats clearly indicate Wales’s superior gameplay, while Gibraltar’s challenges, especially in defence, make them underdogs.
- Correct Score Prediction: Based on the data, a 2-0 win in favour of Wales seems plausible. Gibraltar have conceded frequently, and Wales have the firepower to capitalise.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Harry Wilson stands out as a potential scorer. As one of the top players for Wales in the qualifiers, his form suggests he could find the net.
- Corner Prediction: With Wales averaging 3.4 corners per game and Gibraltar just 0.8, it’s likely that Wales will dominate in this aspect. Total corners might range around 5 to 6 for the match.
