Wales face a tricky opening match in their Nations League opener as they travel to Wroclaw to face Poland.
The home side have already qualified for the World Cup in November, while Wales will be keeping one eye on their play-off final with either Scotland or Ukraine on Sunday which may see them field a slightly weakened side for this one.

Our tip goes for Poland to win, but in a low scoring game – the Eagles have won the last four meetings between these two, with the previous two yielding just a single goal.
Poland vs Wales Prediction
- Our Prediction – 1-0 Poland @ 19/4 on 888Sport
We are predicting Poland to prevail with a tight 1-0 victory on Wednesday.
While Wales have been playing some eye-catching football in their recent qualifiers and friendlies, they will almost certainly be prioritising the World Cup play-off final on Sunday, which, as mentioned, is likely to seem them field a weakened team.
The White and Reds have only lost one of their last nine matches in all competitions and are a formidable opponent – they are unbeaten in four of their last five home internationals.
While we still expect a competitive game in which Wales will want kick off their Nations League campaign in strong form, we are expecting a narrow victory here for Poland who will have no distractions unlike their opponents.
