Wales manager Craig Bellamy during the UEFA Nations League clash with Turkey

Wales welcome Iceland to the Cardiff City Stadium for a tantalising showdown with a place in the top two at stake.

Craig Belamy has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life as Wales manager but unless he can bag a top two finish in this Nations League group, he won’t be able to call this campaign a success.

Wales currently occupy second spot with nine points to their name, but Iceland are breathing down their neck, just two points behind going into this final group fixture.

Here, we take a closer look at this all-important clash and pick out best bets along the way.

Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Wales to win

Wales might not be a giant in the international football realm, but they are certainly tricky to beat at home.

From their last 10 matches, the Dragons have only suffered two defeats – one of them being against Poland on penalties.

With Wales in half-decent form and a capacity crowd cheering them on, we’re backing the hosts to bag the win.

Under 3.5 goals

The two most recent encounters between Wales and Iceland have both been high-scoring affairs, with a total of eight goals across 180 minutes.

However, with so much on the line on this occasion, we might see both sides take a tad more cautious approach – especially in the first few minutes.

What’s more, the last three Wales matches at home have produced just one goal inside 90 minutes.

One goal winning margin

If our prediction regarding a tight game is come to pass, then backing a one goal winning margin may be the way to go in the betting.

The last two games which the Welsh have won, both saw this bet land. With that in mind, we’re backing a game of fine margins in Cardiff.

Booking points over 42.5

The last meeting between these nations saw a total of seven yellow cards dished out by the official.

Considering the stakes are far higher on this occasion, we’re backing the referee to earn his money on Tuesday night.

What is a Bet Builder?

A Bet Builder is a type of bet that allows you to combine multiple selections into one bet. Think of it as a one-match accumulator, if you will.

You can bet on the match winner, total goals, corners and cards, as well as goalscorers. You can also pick out some more niche markets to exploit, such as passes, tackles and shots.

By combining these various markets, you can make the most of every action and achieve some juicy payouts.

Most bookmakers will limit the amount of selections you can add from one match to 10 or 12 markets.

You need every single selection to win to win your bet builder, but some bookmakers do have special offers, such as voiding a specific selection if a player doesn't start, or refunding you in the form of a free bet if just one selection causes you to lose.
