Wales need a draw or a win to top the group and win promotion to the top League A of the Nations League.
Finishing top of the group could also potentially be enough to earn Wales (or Finland) a World Cup 2022 play off place. The two best placed nations League group winners will get a play off place if they don't finish in the two two of their World Cup Qualifying groups.
All to play for at CCS

Potentially a very important game. Doesn't feel like it though. I wonder what sort of crowd we'd be getting for this game.
It is a very important match.
If we top the group and are guaranteed a playoff place for the world Cup (which is what I believe would be the case) then it gives Giggs (or Page/whoever) a license to be bolder in the World cup qualifiers than he might normally be.
I wish I hadn't realised this as I've made tonight into a bit of a nail biter for myself.
Question is, will Page be bold tonight?
Kieffer Moore has to start Shirley.
The play-off spots go to the two highest ranked Nations League Group winners
I think if we win the group, given where we are in the current FIFA rankings we would be fifth ranked of all the winners.
It would need two of the four group winners in the A league, France, Spain and currently Italy and Belgium, not to win their World Cup Qualifying groups to deny us that play off spot (if we don't get one as runners up in our World Cup Qualification group).

Surely we would need three of the above nations to win their groupsThe play-off spots go to the two highest ranked Nations League Group winners

I was casting it negatively rather than positively. If two out of four A group winners don't top their World Cup groups then we don't get a play-off spot
Unfortunately our playing style is a bit negative which gives me the impression that if we concede we may get beaten. Every player receiving a pass seems to shape their body to pass backwards whatever.
Then again, hard to criticise when you look at our results
Phew!The play-off spots go to the two highest ranked Nations League Group winners

That's taken the pressure off tonight then
No Keiffer Moore, but Harry Wilson starts in a negative looking selection.
Ward, Roberts, Rodon, Mepham, Lawrence, Norrington-Davies, Ampadu, Morrell, James, Bale, Wilson
Very disappointing. No Neco Williams or David Brooks. Nor Kieffer Moore.
Not that surprised about Neco, he was excellent against Ireland, but they also kicked his ankles to pieces, could do with a few more days to recover probably
I do wish Ampadu, would stop doing a Gunnarsson (pointiing) and start filling his potential. He spends the game, dictating not commanding !!
Same as Ireland just a few like for like swaps, 6 defenders and no recognised striker.
1-0 wales
I think Ben Davies's enforced loss is the biggest worry given the players available at the outset. Probably the most under-rated talent in the team and the most senior defender helping the promising but inexperienced others. Also hope that Norrington-Davies becomes more confident when he gets the ball in threatening positions.
I love Ben Davies, he's underrated at Spurs but not to sure about Wales.
Bit disappointed with that line up. Game opened up massively when kieffer came on Sunday so thought we’d go with that second half team tonight. Can’t see Bale playing the 90, Johnny and neco Williams both on the bench aswell, yeah bit underwhelmed with the starting team.
Still, got to support them, c’mon Wales!!
What was he thinking?
That certainly helps. Clear red
Uronen didnt look for the ball once. Right decision
Yesss!! Wilson.
Its been coming.
Bale assist.
Sweet.
