DOHA : The odds are heavily stacked against Wales reaching the last 16 ahead of their so-called Battle of Britain against England on Tuesday but if they are to fly home early they will want to do so with pride restored.
Even a victory might not be enough to save Wales as they would also need the other remaining group match between Iran and the United States to end in a draw. For that to happen they will require some magic from their talisman Gareth Bale, who scored an equalising penalty in the opening game against the U.S. but who was rather anonymous in the defeat by Iran.
Manager Gareth Southgate began those games with identical starting line-ups, but could well decide to make some tweaks against Wales with Manchester City's Jack Grealish in line for a start and perhaps an opportunity for striker Callum Wilson.
