Wales vs Liechtenstein: prediction & betting odds 6 June 2025

The Matchday 3 World Cup 2026 qualifying match between Wales and Liechtenstein will take place on June 6 at the Cardiff City Stadium. Wales vs. Liechtenstein: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Wales

Craig Bellamy's side drew 1-1 away against North Macedonia in the previous round. As a result, Wales extended their unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers to 11 matches (7 wins, 4 draws). However, the team has kept a clean sheet only once in their last six World Cup qualifying games. In the standings, the team is second with four points, trailing North Macedonia only on goal difference.

  • The team has not lost in regular time in their last seven home World Cup qualifying matches (5 wins, 2 draws).
  • Both teams scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Wales' last 5 home World Cup qualifiers.
  • Wales have not scored more than one goal in regular time in 8 of their last 11 home World Cup qualifying matches.

Predicted lineup for Wales (4-5-1)

Carl Darlow – Ben Davies, Chris Mepham, Joe Rodon, Neco Williams – Elliot Miles, Sorba Thomas, Josh Sheehan, Jordan James, Mark Harris – Brennan Johnson.

Forward Daniel James will miss the match due to injury.

Liechtenstein

In the previous round, Konrad Fünfstück's side failed to challenge Kazakhstan at home, losing 0-2. This defeat marked Liechtenstein's sixth consecutive loss in World Cup qualifiers, during which they have not scored a single goal. However, the team has not conceded more than three goals in any of their last three matches. Liechtenstein is at the bottom of the group standings with no points.

  • The team has lost in regular time in 18 of their last 19 away World Cup qualifying matches.
  • Liechtenstein has not scored in 90 minutes in 7 of their last 8 away matches in this tournament.
  • At least three goals have been scored in regular time in 7 of Liechtenstein's last 10 away World Cup qualifying matches.

Benjamin Büchel – Jens Hofer, Felix Oberwartitzer, Sandro Wieser, Lars Traber, Maximilian Göppel – Nicolas Hasler, Simon Lüchinger, Aron Sele – William Pizzi, Ferhat Saglam.

The squad has seen changes: Lorenzo Lo Russo and Johannes Schädler have been called up to replace the departing forward Dennis Salanović and goalkeeper Tim-Tiago Ori.

Wales vs. Liechtenstein: Match Prediction

Wales is unlikely to face significant challenges in this match and should secure three points comfortably, although a complete rout may not be on the cards. At home, Wales often achieves their goals, but only rarely do they win by large margins. In their last 11 home World Cup qualifying matches, the team has won by more than one goal only twice, against Belarus and Kazakhstan. They have not won by five or more goals at home in this tournament since 1996.

Liechtenstein's main objective in this match is to avoid a heavy defeat. Konrad Fünfstück's side is unlikely to seriously contend for points, but they may avoid a major thrashing, as they have managed to do in 5 of their last 7 away World Cup qualifying matches.

I believe Wales will play conservatively ahead of their much tougher match against Belgium, so I do not expect a massive victory for the hosts. My prediction: Liechtenstein with a handicap (+4.5)

Wales — Liechtenstein betting tips 6 June 2025

Following Belgium’s arrival in Group J and their immediate position as clear favourites, the primary task for Wales is now to secure second place. The team must capitalise on their head-to-head encounter with Liechtenstein, though they clearly lack a high-calibre attacking unit.

Back in March, at the start of the qualifiers, Wales produced only 2.97 xG across 180 minutes against Kazakhstan (3:1) and North Macedonia (1:1). The equaliser in Skopje came deep into stoppage time, scored in the 96th minute by David Brooks, who came off the bench, while Jordan James, Nathan Broadhead, and Brennan Johnson failed to make an impression going forward. It appears Wales would be content with even a narrow win over the group’s weakest side.

Liechtenstein struggled even in the group stage of their most recent Nations League campaign, netting just three goals over four matches against Gibraltar and San Marino. Currently, the squad is arguably the weakest in Europe, with a total market value of no more than €900,000. That said, they did avoid heavy defeats in March, falling 0:3 to North Macedonia and 0:2 to Kazakhstan.

During qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Wales recorded two routine 2:0 victories over Liechtenstein. The total goals market deserves attention.
