When the draw for Euro 2016 was done, most England supporters were excited at the prospect of facing Wales. However, it will NOT be an easy game. Although this is the first time that Chris Coleman’s side have qualified for the finals, Wales have a number of top talents at their disposal and England won’t have it all their own way in Group B.
Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are Wales’ two biggest stars and England will have to be wary of their threat when they face Coleman’s men in Lens on June 16th. To win the group, England will probably have to at avoid defeat against Wales and then beat both Russia and Slovakia although Hodgson’s men are certainly capable of winning all three fixtures.
If Bale performs at his very best, Wales could well go on to advance from Group B. The Real Madrid star is central to their attacking play and Bale almost single-handedly led Coleman’s side through the qualifying campaign. Betway are currently pricing Bale at 40/1 to finish as the tournament’s top goal scorer and the Welsh wizard will certainly stand a good chance if he can emulate his club form this summer.
But Wales are about much more than just Bale and Ramsey. Ashley Williams is a rock at the heart of their defence and the Swansea captain keeps the Welsh back four organised from start to finish. In addition, the likes of Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen and Andy King, who recently helped Leicester City win the Premier League title, will both play key roles for their nation throughout the competition.
On their day, Wales will fancy their chances against anyone. Chris Coleman’s side are a proud bunch and there’s sure to be plenty of passion on show when the Welsh face the English on June 16th. At the time of writing, Betway are offering punters the opportunity to bet on England’s Group B rivals to qualify for the knockout round at 8/13 and it would take a brave man to back against Wales’ enthusiasm.
With less than one month until the tournament gets underway, Welsh fans will be both apprehensive and excited at their chances of success. While facing England is an imposing task, Wales should take great confidence from their performances against Belgium in the qualifying campaign and if nothing else, Coleman’s men should try to enjoy the experience of featuring at a major tournament. They might even surprise themselves...
