The International friendly match between Wales and Gibraltar will take place at Principality Stadium on Thursday at 12:15 am IST.
Wales will be hosting Gibraltar in an international friendly on Thursday as they aim to gain some momentum before their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. The Welsh team has been struggling to secure victories lately, while Gibraltar is currently on a six-match losing streak. In less than a year since their participation in the World Cup, there have been calls for Robert Page to step down from his position as the Wales manager, especially given the team’s transition following Gareth Bale’s retirement.
Wales currently sits three points behind the top spot in Group D, having only defeated Latvia, with matches against the teams above them still to come. They are set to face Croatia at home on Sunday, a match they realistically need to win to avoid the risk of missing out on at least a playoff spot. In September, Wales managed to secure a morale-boosting draw against South Korea in a friendly before defeating Latvia on their home ground. However, they are missing some key players at the moment.
From Gibraltar’s perspective, their Euro 2024 qualifying group includes tough opponents like France, Netherlands, Greece, and the Republic of Ireland, making it a challenging task to earn any points. So far, Julio Cesar Ribas’s team has suffered five consecutive defeats, conceding 17 goals while failing to score. It’s worth noting that Gibraltar has only managed to score two goals on away soil in over two years, with these goals coming in matches against Norway and Bulgaria, respectively.
Wales’s probable starting lineup: A. Davies, Poole, Lockyer, B. Davies, Roberts, Sheehan, Levitt, Beck, Brooks, Broadhead, Bradshaw
Gibraltar’s probable starting lineup: Coleing, Olivero, Britto, R. Chipolina, Mouelhi, Jolley, Sergeant, Ronan, Pozo, Walker, De Barr
