Craig Bellamy's side took four points from their opening two games against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia in March.

Here, we look at the main talking points surrounding the Cardiff City Stadium clash.

FLAMING JUNE

Summer fixtures have proved a major problem for Wales in recent years.

Euro 2024 qualification hopes were seriously damaged by defeats to Armenia - then ranked 97th in the world - and Turkey two years ago, and manager Rob Page lost his job after an embarrassing goalless draw with Gibraltar and a 4-0 beating in Slovakia last June.

Slipping up against Liechtenstein, who are 205th out of FIFA's 210 ranked nations, would top those disasters, and boss Bellamy will be keen to brush them aside ahead of Monday's challenging test with Belgium in Brussels.
