Bellamy in the stand as Wales go into key World Cup qualifiers

WALES play their penultimate World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein in Vaduz today (5pm).

- 

The Dragons need to beat the group minnows to set up a decider for second place against North Macedonia on Tuesday.

Here the PA news agency looks at the key talking points ahead of the game at the Rheinpark Stadion.

Six is the magic number

Wales almost certainly need six points from their final two qualifiers to finish runners-up to Belgium and earn themselves a more favourable draw come the playoffs in March.

But should Wales improve their goal difference by at least six against Liechtenstein - whom they beat 3-0 in Cardiff in June - then drawing with North Macedonia would be enough for second spot.

It would appear to be a remote hope as Wales’ only previous competitive victory by a six-goal margin was back in 1885, an 8-2 thrashing of Ireland in the embryonic British Home Championship.
