Wales vs Ukraine 05.06.2022

A Gareth Bale double either side of halftime at the end of March put them on course for a crucial 2-1 win that earned them a chance to grab one of the remaining slots at Qatar 2022. The Dragons have since played a couple of matches without a win, including a 2-1 loss away at Poland in their opening Nations League fixture in midweek

Ukraine put behind the problems back at home as they travelled to Scotland to take on the hosts for a chance to face Wales who have been waiting in the wings. They ran the Tartan Army ragged, picking up a comprehensive 3-1 win and continuing their fairy tale run with just Wales standing between them and a place in Qatar

Being the final, we expect both teams to be up for it. The opening half is likely to be very closely fought with neither team willing to cede too much ground. We fancy the two teams to be level at the break
