Wales have no room for error with three teams above them in Group E, though can they can go level on points with their hosts here with a victory.
That won’t be easy given Wales have lost four of their last five away matches under Ryan Giggs, while their hosts currently sit in second place, just one point behind leaders Croatia.
However, Pavel Hapal’s men won’t be able to fully benefit from home advantage, as this clash is set to take place behind closed doors owing to the behaviour of fans during their win over Hungary last month.
The Dragons can also take confidence from their win over Slovakia in Cardiff, as well as victory over them in the group stages of Euro 2016, while the hosts also suffered a heavy 4-0 loss in their last home tussle as they went down to World Cup finalists Croatia.

Big Names Available For Wales
Further, Giggs can call upon his most influential players, which hasn’t always been the case. The highly promising David Brooks may be still out injured, but for the first time in this qualification campaign Aaron Ramsey is available, to go along with other attacking talents such as Gareth Bale, Daniel James and Harry Wilson.
The experience of Joe Allen is also there to be utilized in midfield, and since the start of qualification for Euro 2016, Wales have gone W9-D3-L4 when the key trio of Bale, Ramsey and Allen have all played at least a whole half each.
One of those losses came against England and two of them were against a solid Danish outfit, while they also managed an impressive two wins and a draw from three encounters with Belgium over this period.
Wales Draw No Bet
Slovakia’s short price is inevitably a product of a good record in home games at first glance, going W11-D1-L2 since October 2016. However, they haven’t faced much quality over this period as the best sides they’ve faced have been the Netherlands (1-1 draw) and Croatia (that 4-0 defeat).
The only other teams they’ve encountered within the current top 50 according to FIFA’s world rankings are Norway (47th), Hungary (50th) and Denmark (14th), though the Danes fielded a second string team owing to a dispute with their FA so we wouldn’t read too much into that result. By way of comparison, FIFA have Wales at 23rd, and with key players in the side together for once, should expect at the very least to avoid defeat.
