What channel is Wales v Austria World Cup qualifiers play-off on? Kick off time and live stream details
Check out how to watch Wales v Austria in the World Cup Qualifiers this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
It's been more than 60 years since Wales' last World Cup appearance but Robert Page's side will have a chance to move a step closer to ending that wait on Thursday when they host Austria at the Cardiff City Stadium in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
The two sides will be battling it out for a chance to play either Scotland or Ukraine (whose play-off has been postponed until June for obvious reasons) for a place at the tournament in Qatar this winter.
Wales finished second in World Cup European Qualifying Group E, behind Belgium, and their only defeat came away against the world's top-ranked side – having held them to a 0-0 draw in Cardiff.
Page's side are ranked 10 places above Austria in the FIFA rankings but this will be a tough test.
The visitors earned their place in the play-offs through their UEFA Nations League position and they certainly have some dangerous players in their ranks.

Our prediction: Wales v Austria
It cannot be underestimated just how important playing at home is likely to be for Wales as they look to move one step closer to their first World Cup since 1958.
Likewise, the news that Gareth Bale is looking sharp and that Aaron Ramsey bagged his first goal for Rangers recently are significant boosts for Page's side.
Austria are not short of quality themselves, with the likes of David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer, and Marko Arnautovic likely to cause some problems for the hosts, but at the Cardiff City Stadium, it's hard to look past Cymru.
Our prediction: Wales 2-1 Austria (10/1 at Bet365)
