Wales have adopted a really positive approach to their World Cup qualifying campaign under Craig Bellamy and are backed for another entertaining win in Kazakhstan on Thursday.
The Dragons prevailed 3-1 when these teams met in Cardiff back in March in their opening Group J fixture and are pushing for a place in the play-offs at least.
BOYLE Sports are offering a price boost of 10/3 for Bellamy’s men to win and both teams to score again in Astana, and that is our first Kazakhstan vs Wales prediction.

Dan James, Ben Davies and Rabbi Matondo hit the target when Wales won the reverse fixture, with Askhat Tagybergen striking for Kazakhstan from the penalty spot in their first-ever meeting.
The Dragons followed up with a dramatic late draw away to pool leaders North Macedonia and a 3-0 home victory over Liechtenstein before Bellamy surrendered his nine-match unbeaten record via a 4-3 loss in Belgium.
Wales bravely fought back from 3-0 down to level things up in Brussels, but were cruelly undone by an 88th-minute Kevin De Bruyne strike.
Sorba Thomas fell out of favour under previous manager Rob Page but credits Bellamy with rescuing his international career and pushing Wales forward.
“I thought I’d never play for Wales again, but what the gaffer has done for the country is unbelievable,” said Thomas. “He made us believe, not just us players but the whole country, that we can go and achieve things. It’s an exciting time for Welsh football.”
Thomas netted against Belgium in June and has scored twice for Stoke in the Championship this term, so 3/1 for him to strike at any time appeals from the Kazakhstan vs Wales odds.
Kazakhstan Form Guide
Kazakhstan bounced back from losing to Wales with a 2-0 triumph away to Liechtenstein, but any hopes of a surprise qualification were dented by a 1-0 home defeat to North Macedonia.
The Hawks’ squad is mostly made up of home-based players, but they do have a couple of proven performers plying their trade in Russia.
Zenit St Petersburg defender Nuraly Alip can feature in an experienced rearguard, while Dynamo Moscow’s Bakhtiyar Zaynutdinov has 14 goals in 42 international appearances.
Promising Akhmat Grozny forward Maksim Samorodov is another to watch out for, but this is a match that an enterprising Wales outfit are well capable of winning.
Let’s finish off our Kazakhstan vs Wales betting tips by taking 17/10 for an away victory and over 2.5 total goals to be scored.
