Wales vs Gibraltar tips and predictions: Dragons backed to boost morale against struggling minnows

- 10 October 2023
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage expects Wales to turn on the style against a misfiring Gibraltar side in their international friendly this Wednesday night.
Wales back in Wrexham. I had such great memories of going to watch Wales at Wrexham. I remember Mark Hughes scoring a wonderful goal against Spain. So many memories there.
On the pitch, Wales are not in great form. Two wins out of the last 14 – both those wins coming against Latvia.
As for Gibraltar, no wins in six. No goals and 18 conceded. You’ve got to say it’s a great opportunity for Wales to get a morale boosting victory ahead of the Croatia game.
I’m going with a 3-0 win to Wales.
Robbie’s Pick: Wales 3-0 Gibraltar
Team news
Wales boss Rob Page is without Aaron Ramsey and Brennan Johnson for Wednesday’s friendly.
On a more positive note, the Dragons could hand debuts for Regan Poole, Owen Beck Joe Low and Charlie Savage.
Gibraltar, on the other hand, are missing Niels Hartman for the trip to Wrexham. Wycombe forward Tjay De Barr could go up against club teammate Low should both feature in the match.
Key stats
- Wales have won just two of their last 14 internationals
- Both those wins have come against Latvia
- Gibraltar have lost six straight games on the bounce
- During this run, Gibraltar have failed to score a single goal and conceded 18
Other suggested bets by Planet Sport
Wales have one priority during October’s international break and that’s simply to keep their Euro qualifying campaign alive against Croatia.
Before taking on the European powerhouse, Wales have an opportunity to build some much-needed confidence at the expense of Gibraltar.
The Dragons are on a woeful run of form, though a commanding victory could set them in good stead for the crunch qualifying clash.
Page is expected to rotate his squad and field a youthful side in Wrexham. Despite this, our recommendation is to back the hosts to score over 2.5 goals.
Gibraltar have endured some tough results in recent weeks and even getting a goal will be a challenge.
With that in mind, Wales to win to nil is another market to keep a close eye on.
