    World Cup Qualfiers - Europe > Sept 11th

    in World Cup 2022 Tips & Predictions

    Price is dropping on Serbia-Wales finishing under 2.5 goals and understandably so. We still have no goals under chris Coleman and travel to Serbia. The Serbian team, despite younger players coming in, should have superior technical ability, home advantage and little goal threat to deal with. The question is over how many Serbian goals will come. I expect we'll go over and 'park the bus' in front goal and a 1-0 defeat may be begrudgingly accepted by both sets of fans :sad Bet: under 2.5 goals.

    Having watched the Wales Belgium game, it really didn't give much idea on what either are capable of. The sending off and injuries meant we could only defend and limit damage (although we appeared to have little composure or tactical drive when on the ball) and Belgium really didn't look look they'd gotten out of second gear (and didn't need too). Belgium had plenty of the ball but did very little with it to warrant betting on them in the next game - lukaku was the only one showing much desire but he didn't get good service to perform.

    Wales - Belgium Some good analysis and also some pointless keyboard warriorness posted. Plenty has been posted about the Belgians and what mentality they will play with. The pain of not qualifying can increase desire, drive and motivation to succeed at the next hurdle. This is a group that does not have any Italian, Spanish, german, Dutch, French power houses and will be left to a few lesser-thought of, quality teams to do battle. Sadly, as a Welshman, I can only see us making up the numbers, this time round. As said above, the Belgians are going into the tournament with hype and expectations, so playing away from home may reduce some of this for them. As stated above, with Croatia and Serbia up next, it's even more important to start strongly. But what about the welsh? A few times in this thread people have stated that past results stretch too far back, involve games that none of the playing staff were involved in and question the relevance. Flip side is that we are considered difficult to beat in front of our own crowd. This point, I'd challenge with the previous point. We aren't playing at the Millenium stadium but at cardiff's ground because there's simply not enough people going. Wales are yet to score a goal under chris coleman and have several first team players out injured, including first choice keeper. Much attention is being paid to our big 3 of Ramsey, Allen and bale - but they played in our 2-0 home defeat to Belarus recently. Not only do I struggle to see who will be our danger man in front of goal, I don't see much protection for our back 4. Overall our team is similar to a decent championship side with little quality on the bench. Colemans managerial achievements peaked by 'did ok with fulham.' he's since gone on to several unsuccessful spells in the uk, Spain and Greece. Nice guy but not enough quality IMO to bring a team, still mourning the suicide of Gary speed, into a better position. I hear the fears of Belgium's expectations but, for me, they won't need to be 100%. The lay on Wales looks 10/10 but I've gone for the Belgium win at 4/5 with laddies.
