Wales prepares for a blockbuster clash with the USA in their World Cup opener in Qatar on Monday, 21 November. Wales has been on the wrong side of the scoresheet lately – after losing three games on the bounce in the Nations League. 

The losing skid the Welsh are on surely should inject some impetus for their opener against the world No.16 ranked USA. Check here for the full rundown on the World Cup betting odds, the two teams’ head-to-head record and where and what time the match is on locally.

Gareth Bale looks to make a splash in Wales’s first game opener against the USA

Wales were eliminated in the second round of the 2020 Euros after a lacklustre effort against Denmark saw them swallow a 4-0 loss – this short journey was disappointing with talisman Gareth Bale leading the line and the men in red will be hellbent on making an indelible mark in Qatar.

Meanwhile, the USA were held to a draw against minnows Saudia Arabia – while Japan inflicted a 2-0 defeat against the Americans in the build-up to Qatar. Wales sit in the FIFA Rankings at World No.19 and this Qatar opener is one to put in your calendar.

Meanwhile, Wales arrives at +200 and will be hoping to banish the memory of their 2020 Euro campaign.
