Wales vs Ghana

Wales welcome Ghana to the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday evening for a historic international friendly, the first-ever senior meeting between these two nations.

Wales are unbeaten at home in regulation time throughout 2025, though consecutive draws earlier this year suggest they are still fine-tuning their approach.

Ghana secured 2026 World Cup qualification in impressive fashion but arrive in Cardiff on the back of five consecutive friendly defeats.

Wales vs Ghana Form

Wales have been solid on home soil, maintaining an unbeaten record at the Cardiff City Stadium throughout 2025. Their recent 1-1 draws against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Northern Ireland point to a side that dominates possession, averaging between 58% and 64%, but has struggled to convert that control into victories. Brennan Johnson, Harry Wilson and Kieffer Moore remain their most potent attacking outlets.

Ghana topped CAF Group I with 25 points to clinch their World Cup spot, highlighted by a dominant 5-0 home win over the Central African Republic. However, their friendly form has been poor, losing five on the bounce and conceding 12 goals across those outings. Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew and Inaki Williams will be tasked with providing the attacking spark to end that wretched run.

Our three-leg bet builder backs Wales to win, Kieffer Moore to score anytime, and both teams to score no, combining three strong angles into one compelling selection.

Wales have been stubborn at home and are firm favourites in the Win Market. Their possession dominance and shot output make a home victory the foundation of this bet builder.

Kieffer Moore is the focal point of this Welsh attack, leading the line in a 4-2-3-1 system. The towering striker thrives on crosses and set pieces, making him the likeliest goalscorer.

Both teams to score no rounds off the selection. Ghana have been wasteful in front of goal during their recent friendly slump, and Wales' compact defensive setup should keep them at bay.

This three-leg combination reinforces a low-scoring Wales victory narrative throughout.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 19/2 and is as short as 11/2 elsewhere. That's a difference of £29 from best to worst on a £10 stake.
