Wales vs North Macedonia: World Cup Qualification betting tips, odds and predictions

• Ladbrokes brings you its betting tips for Wales vs North Macedonia in World Cup Qualification

• Harry Wilson is backed to score with under 3.5 goals scored in the game

• Josh Sheehan is tipped to be shown a card with the game ending in a draw

Wales can guarantee themselves a favourable play-off draw in their World Cup Qualification bid if they beat North Macedonia on Tuesday night.

Though Craig Bellamy's men, currently third in Group J, can technically still secure automatic qualification by finishing top, leapfrogging Tuesday's opponents into second seems the more likely scenario, with leaders Belgium needing to lose to winless Liechtenstein to give Wales any chance of claiming first.

And while a play-off spot is already secured for the Dragons through their victorious Nations League campaign, plenty still rides on the game at the Cardiff City Stadium, with a win allowing them a home draw in the play-offs in March.

Ahead of a huge night of international football, check out our best bets, tips and predictions for your Wales vs North Macedonia bet builder.

Harry Wilson will wear the captain's armband for the first time for Wales on Tuesday in Ethan Ampadu's absence, making him a guaranteed starter on the right of attack, if he wasn't already, and we think he'll mark the occasion in style.

The Fulham winger knows exactly where the goal is and shoulders the responsibility from set-pieces since Gareth Bale's retirement. The Dragons will need a big goal from someone, just as Bale did so many times, and the skipper looks the most likely to step up.

With plenty riding on the game for North Macedonia too, a cagey affair will likely be in store in South Wales with a goal deciding it either way.

Between them, the two sides have managed just three goals across their last three respective games each and with a draw technically being a satisfactory result for both sides, it may not be the pulsating, end-to-end game we saw in Ireland's win over Hungary over the weekend.

With captain Ampadu suspended, a midfield reshuffle will likely see Bolton's Josh Sheehan handed a start in midfield for what will be his 16th cap for his country.

As mentioned previously, this game will likely not be the most pleasing on the eye, with the midfield battle crucial to who comes out on top. Of all the options in the cards market, Sheehan looks like a smart pick as Wales look to get the job done.

While a home draw would be huge for Wales in the play-offs, North Macedonia will be desperate to ensure their World Cup dream doesn't slip away at the final hurdle.

The visitors are actually unbeaten in qualifying so far, with four draws from their seven games, including in the reverse fixture of this game in September. Despite having to contend with a raucous home crowd, we think North Macedonia will keep it tight and do what they have to.

What's more, it is likely Belgium will go ahead early on against Liechtenstein and eliminate any hopes of automatic qualification for either side, leading to them settling for a draw.
