Kazakhstan vs Wales Betting Tips
Our betting expert has three Kazakhstan vs Wales tips for Thursday’s 2026 World Cup Group J qualifier at the Astana Arena (kick-off, 3pm). Scroll down for the analysis behind his selections.
- Wales to win and under 2.5 goals @ 9/4
- Harry Wilson to score or assist @ 5/4
- Brennan Johnson to score at any time & Ben Davies to be booked @ 11/1
Dragons can boost World Cup hopes
Wales find themselves second in 2026 World Cup qualifying Group J on seven points after four matches, one point behind North Macedonia and three ahead of third-placed Belgium, who have two games in hand on the top two.
With the group winners automatically qualifying for the major tournament and second progressing into the play-offs, there is pressure to land one of those two positions and the Dragons currently find themselves in one of those.
But with Belgium lurking behind with two games in hand, Wales need to keep churning out victories and they should be able to do that against a Kazakhstan side who have collected three points from a possible nine.
Ali Aliyev’s side have lost nine of their last 11 matches, one of those a 3-1 defeat to Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium, while they have drawn one and lost three of their last four home assignments.
A defensive-minded approach is expected from the hosts and they will try to make themselves hard to break down, which will test the creativity and attacking quality in this Wales squad.
The Dragons were on a nine-game unbeaten run before going down 4-3 in Belgium last time out and they should have enough to get the job done in Astana, but it may not be a thriller given that four of Kazakhstan’s last six matches have seen under three goals.

Wilson to make telling contribution
Harry Wilson was the subject of transfer speculation this summer but he has remained at Fulham past deadline day and he will be eager to put his full focus on helping his club and country succeed.
Although yet to get off the mark in terms of goals or assists this season, the 28-year-old has looked lively in his four appearances and he has proven to be a star performer for Wales.
Wilson has six goals and two assists in his last seven appearances for the Dragons and he looks capable of adding to either of those tallies on Thursday.

Welsh pair can land Bet Builder
Brennan Johnson has started the campaign off strongly for Tottenham Hotspur, netting in the wins over Burnley and Manchester City, and he can now get on the scoresheet for his country.
The 24-year-old netted for Wales in the 4-3 defeat to Belgium and, now coming up against a weaker Kazakhstan defence, he can find the back of the net again.
Complete this Bet Builder with Wales defender Ben Davies to be booked. The 32-year-old is yet to play a single minute for Spurs this season and he could be a bit rusty when taking to the field in Astana.
If Kazakhstan can put some pressure on the centre-back, he could be forced into making a rash decision and it would be no surprise to see his name taken by the referee.
Kazakhstan vs Wales Tip 3: Brennan Johnson to score at any time & Ben Davies to be booked @ 11/1
