Wales Vs Hungary 19 November 2019

Sports news - Get €5 FreeBet - Wales still have their destiny in their own hands due to gaining a run of eight points from their previous four matches in Group E, and now are only a single point behind Hungary, who got the second qualifying slot. Maybe it was destiny that these two would be drawn to go head to head in their final group match, in what is very much a win-or-bust encounter. Three points would be sufficient to pledge the winner's spot at the next summer's finals, with the loser entrusted to the lottery of March's 16-team play-offs.

A draw is not going to be sufficient to see Wales through automatically, but they are already certain of a play-off spot, while a point in the Cardiff would leave Hungary anticipating that Azerbaijan can do them a courtesy against Slovakia in the group's other game. Then, it'll be Slovakia established as one of the next summer's finalists, and Hungary going down into the play-offs.

Giggs, the Wales Manager, acknowledged his side had desired a helping hand to keep themselves in the argument for automatic qualification, with Hungary losing two of their preceding three games before Tuesday's clash. But with their destiny now back in their own hands, the previous Manchester United winger is assured his country can capitalize.

Giggs is going to be happy to be able to call on both Bale and Ramsey to start against Hungary, though he acknowledged there is no assurance both will be able to complete the 90 minutes.

Tuesday's match might be the largest and thrilling international so far for a lot of Wales' young players - including 19-year-old Ethan Ampadu and 22-year-old Daniel James - and senior forward Bale has given them a piece of advice. We consider Hungry to have an edge over Wales.
