Overview
- Kick-off is 7:45pm GMT on Tuesday at Cardiff City Stadium, with live coverage on BBC One Wales, BBC Three and iPlayer.
- Both teams are level on 13 points, and automatic qualification only comes into play if Belgium lose their finale; otherwise the result chiefly sets seeding and home advantage for March’s play-offs.
- Wales require victory to finish second because of an inferior goal difference, whereas a draw would secure second place for North Macedonia.
- Craig Bellamy’s side are without Kieffer Moore, Ben Davies and Ben Cabango through injury, with Ethan Ampadu and Jordan James suspended, while Harry Wilson returns from a ban.
- North Macedonia arrive on a lengthy unbeaten competitive run and target a first World Cup via a stronger play-off seed, though bookmakers still make Wales favourites at around 8-11.
