Kazakhstan vs. Wales: Predictions and Betting Tips for September 4, 2025

On September 4, 2025, Kazakhstan will play against Wales in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers for European national teams. The match starts at 16:00 Central European Time. Let’s examine the situation and make a prediction for this game.

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan began their World Cup qualifying journey with a 1-3 loss to Wales, but rebounded with a solid 2-0 away win against Liechtenstein. However, they faced another setback in the third round, losing 0-1 at home to North Macedonia. Currently, Kazakhstan has three points from three matches, with a goal difference of 3:4, placing them fourth in their group. Another loss could severely hinder their chances of moving forward, especially with a poor home record, having not won any of their last four home games.

Prior to the qualifiers, Kazakhstan struggled in the Nations League B division, where they faced Norway, Austria, and Slovenia. They lost all five matches and could only manage one goalless draw, resulting in a total of 15 conceded goals. Consequently, they were demoted to League C.

This will be the second time these teams meet in this qualifying campaign.

Wales

Wales approach their fifth World Cup qualifying match in Group J with strong performances so far. In their opening match, they defeated Kazakhstan 3-1 at home. They followed this with a 1-1 away draw against North Macedonia and a convincing 3-0 home victory over Liechtenstein. However, they lost a thrilling match against Belgium 3-4 in the last round.

Wales’ main challenge for second place in the group comes from North Macedonia, as Belgium leads comfortably. It’s essential for Wales to secure points against teams like Kazakhstan.

Overall, Wales are in good form. In the Nations League, they secured promotion to Division A, remaining unbeaten over six matches with three wins and three draws. They have been strong defensively, conceding only four goals while scoring nine.
