Wales and England go head-to-head to close out the Group Stage for Group B. This match will take place at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 29, at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
Wales returns to the World Cup for the first time since 1958 when they made a run to the Quarterfinals. Wales qualified by winning the UEFA Path A Playoff against Ukraine.
On the other hand, England comes into the 2022 World Cup as their sixth-straight appearance and 15th overall. England will look to have a better outcome than last time after finishing fourth in 2018.

Wales vs England Prediction
Wales 1-3 England
England boasts one of the top attacks at the World Cup, with stars such as Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Mason Mount, and Jude Bellingham.
This attacking unit will be present for years to come. Kane is the oldest of the bunch at 29.
Gareth Bale leads the charge for Wales, captaining the country’s first World Cup appearance since 1958. Though he is Wales’ all-time leading scorer with 40 goals, Bale has just one goal for the Dragons in 2022.
A pair of young Premier League stars, Daniel James and Brennan Johnson, will join him on the attack.
Wales will need to focus on the counter-attack in this match, as England will be pushing the ball and controlling possession for most of this match.

WAGER: 2 Units
From top to bottom, England has one of the best all-around rosters at the World Cup. It would be a major upset to see Wales take down one of the favorites to win the entire tournament.
Though the scoring has been scarce for England’s standards in 2022, the Three Lions will show up on the big stage. They could easily hit the Over on their own, which should happen here heading into the Round of 16.
