Wales and England meet at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday in their final group match of this World Cup, with both sides keen to finish on as strong a note as possible.

The match is a must-win win for Rob Page’s Welsh side, who would need to earn three points and get a sizeable difference on goal difference to progress from Group B.

England he can almost taste the round of 16 after grabbing four points in his first two games, but the Three Lions’ failure to beat the United States in game two means there’s still plenty to play for.

Wales vs England score prediction

Wales have no choice but to go all out to win this match, with only a heavy win giving the Dragons a chance of qualification from Group B.

Even a 33-year-old Gareth Bale is still unplayable in his day and Kieffer Moore’s aerial dominance could cause the England defense some trouble – however, in fairness, this should be an easy win for the Three Lions.

The gaps in the Welsh midfield were incredibly evident in the first two games, and while they throw men in search of goal, there should be plenty of room for England to exploit.

Prediction: Wales 0-2 England
