Wales face Estonia tonight at Cardiff City Stadium in our third and final game of this international break, following a 3-2 win over Belarus in Russia and a 0-0 draw with Finland in a friendly.

Wales will move up to second in the group with a win.

Tickets are still available and you can pay on the night.

The game is live on Sky Sports Main Event.

The bookies make Wales the clear 1/5 favourites to win.

After having so many players unavailable for the Belarus game, Rob Page will have some of them back for this game.

Joe Rodon, Tyler Roberts, Ethan Ampadu, Harry Wilson and Brandon Cooper are all available again.

Aaron Ramsey and Kieffer Moore are amongst those who are still not available.

This is only our third ever match against Estonia, and our first competitive one. We beat them 2-1 on an away friendly in 1994 and 1-0 in a home friendly in 2009.

The other game in the group tonight is Belarus v Belgium, also kicking off at 7.45pm.





It is Wales' fourth game of World Cup qualifying. So far have beaten Belarus and Czech Republic. We lost against Belgium.

We currently sit in third place place, one point behind Czech Republic and seven behind Belgium - although they have each played two more games than us.

Estonia have also played three games so far, they have lost them all - at home against Belgium and Czech Republic, away against Belarus.



Wales complete the qualifying campaign with four more games, two in October and two in November.

In October we play Czech Republic and Estonia away. In November we play Belarus and Belgium at home.

For Wales, the task is simple. If we win every game then we will be going to the World Cup next November. If not, we are unlikely to automatically go through.

We are already practically guaranteed a play-off place due to our performance in the Nations League. In the play-offs, three out of twelve teams will progress to the World Cup.

It was harder to miss that by Wilson.

This is why we can’t sell out the performance is stale and much easier to watch on tv and switch between this and Poland England

It was harder to miss that by Wilson.

well he was never going to score with his left foot from there... extremely poor performance considering the oposition ? we are playing in front of them instead of getting behind them.... no shots on target ridiculous situation..

Equally as bad as Sunday

Glad I saved 30 quid on a ticket and a taxi home (thanks Arriva trains ) disappointing performance so far. Hope the boys can prove me wrong

Knew the page experiment would come to this mind

Jonny Williams has stolen a living in football can’t believe he still gets picked by Wales!

Would’ve preferred Colwill or Woodburn came on for Wilson

Did well v Belarus

Jonny Williams has done little for Wales since his debut… god help this Wales team in the playoffs and if page is in charge. This is as poor a couple of performances in many a year

Good one

We seem to be trying to walk it into the net & it's not working.

Literally given up on trying to outplay them and just hoping for something special which I don’t see coming

I’d say the opposite we are struggling to get in their box

Here we go; the Matchday Moaner with the 'BarryFraud88' has Show' taking time off from his other name(s) to bleat about anything/everything in a game of football...

Always back game-time and at the first opportunity to whinge about a team he purports to support, yet NEVER a goid thing to say whilst sitting in his armchair dribbling into his bib...

Criticises, criticise, criticise...!

Watching England is no good to you, fella; they are 1-0 up, so nothing for you to get yourself worked up about...

One sad individual (wind up merchant or not) you are...!

Utter shit, sack Page now

Game over; back in your box, fella...!

Missing that bit of class in midfield.

Apart from James and Bale no one else looked a threat.

A lot of running around looking busy but not doing much in our midfield. Very poor.

Sometimes you just have to give credit to a very resolute and determined Estonia performance. Having said that Wales created the chances to win the game comfortably none more so than Roberts being played through with Williams alone to his right and goes for goal only for the keeper to get a leg to it. No wonder Robert Page is losing his hair.

He did against Belarus.

But …….. and I say this with a heavy heart and a stopped clock it right twice a day.

You were right. Williams was garbage.

We didn't do enough to deserve to win that game.

Very poor result.

Got away with it on Sunday but didn't today.

Thankfully we will be in the play-offs anyway. We should have some important players who were missing for these games back by then, as it won't be until next year. But we will still need to be much better.

Would be nice to finish second in the group but that won't happen with performances like that.


If it wasn't obvious before that Page isn't up to it, then it is now.
