Liechtenstein vs Wales prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-14 17:00.
[p]Selection issues plague Wales as they travel to Liechtenstein needing to at least avoid defeat to keep their hopes of a top-two finish in FIFA World Cup qualifying (WCQ) Group J alive.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein’s latest WCQ campaign has gone exactly as expected, as UEFA’s second-lowest ranked side have lost all six matches, conceding 23 goals without reply. That forms part of a wider ten-match losing run that’s seen them held scoreless eight times, so there appears very little hope they can salvage some pride in their final two matches. It’s now been over 20 years since Liechtenstein’s last WCQ victory (D5, L42), so anything but another convincing defeat here would certainly be a surprise.[/p]
[p]While they’ll be able to fall back on a play-off thanks to their UEFA Nations League performance regardless, Wales know two wins from two will secure them a top-two finish in Group J. They trail North Macedonia by three points ahead of their crunch H2H next week, so merely avoiding defeat here keeps the Dragons’ fate in their own hands. That’s not been straightforward for Wales recently, as after going unbeaten in their first nine under Craig Bellamy (W5, D4), they’ve lost four of their last five (W1). Travelling woes have long undermined them, with their last 19 games outside of Wales returning just three wins (D7, L9).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Wales have won all four prior H2Hs by a combined 11-0 scoreline, winning the reverse fixture 3-0 in June as well as their only previous trip to Liechtenstein 2-0 in October 2009.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein have conceded 11 second-half goals across their last five home games.[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein have registered just seven shots on target across their last eight outings.[/p]
[p]Just two of Wales’ last six matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Wales’ last five games have seen ten goals scored inside the opening half-hour.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein’s most capped active player, Nicolas Hasler, stands out as their biggest threat having been involved in three goals in his last two matches for club side Vaduz (G2, A1). Sorba Thomas’ standout season for club side Stoke has run alongside some impressive Wales form, as he’s directly contributed to six goals in as many games in this WCQ cycle (G1, A5).[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein don’t appear to have fresh injury concerns, but Wales are missing captains Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies through injury as well as in-form Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore, while talisman Harry Wilson is suspended.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]While they may be missing a number of key players, backing Wales to win without conceding appears highly likely to provide a return here.[/p]
