Wales face Belarus in a crucial World Cup qualifier this afternoon, with Robert Page’s side looking to climb the table in Group E and boost their qualification hopes with a win.

Belgium and Czech Republic are ahead of Wales with 10 and seven points respectively in Group E but Wales have two games in hand, having beaten the Czechs in March.

Wales play Belarus and then Estonia on Wednesday and could go second in the table if they secure maxiumum points in those fixtures. This afternoon’s fixture will be played in Russia due to an international travel ban on Belarus.

Page’s side played out a 0-0 draw against Finland earlier this week in their first match since Euro 2020, where they reached the knockout stages before losing to Denmark.
