Estonia v Wales betting tips: Wales can drive home advantage

Estonia lost 6-2 at home to the Czechs in March and 5-2 at home to Belgium last month, but Wales were held to a goalless draw by Estonia in Cardiff last month. The draw is available at odds of 13/5.

Wales are already effectively guaranteed a play-off place in their bid to reach the finals for the first time since 1958, thanks to their success in the Nations League.

However, finishing second in this World Cup qualifying group could secure them a more favourable draw in that knockout stage.

Estonia v Wales head-to-head

Wales won both previous meetings with Estonia prior to last month’s stalemate, which was their first competitive international.

The sides first met in 1994 when Wales earned a 2-1 friendly win in Tallinn. In their second clash in May 2009, Wales won 1-0 in another friendly in Llanelli thanks to a Robert Earnshaw penalty.

Wales have held Estonia scoreless in the last two meetings and are 5/4 to win to nil this time in the Estonia v Wales betting tips.

Estonia v Wales key battles

Estonia’s sole victory in the group came against Belarus last month and they have four points from five games.

Ranked 110th in the world, they came close to taking the points in Cardiff, with Mattias Kent hitting the crossbar.

Yet it was Estonia’s teenage Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein who prevented Wales from taking the points, making several excellent saves.

Although they will again miss Bale, the biggest fear is that Page’s side will again play down to lower-ranked opposition.

Wales are 4/9 to score the first goal, as they did in Prague, and 11/4 to be held at half-time and go on to win the game.
