There is fresh hope among the Red Army after the promising start to Craig Bellamy's tenure.

The much-loved former midfielder is unbeaten through his first six games at the helm – having won promotion back to the top tier of the Nations League courtesy of a first-place finish in Group B4 in 2024.

Wales have been drawn alongside Belgium, North Macedonia, Liechtenstein and Friday's visitors in World Cup qualifying Group J.

The top side from each group will book their place at next summer's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico automatically, while second place will earn a play-off spot.

A home tie against Kazakhstan represents a golden opportunity for Bellamy's team to make a fast start in the pursuit of reaching back-to-back World Cups.

Friday's visitors endured a dismal 2024, losing eight of their 10 games and suffering relegation in the Nations League after finishing bottom of Group B3.

New head coach Ali Aliyev will hope to turn the tide, and his team picked up a 2-0 win in a friendly against Curaçao on Wednesday, but anything other than a Wales win has to be seen as a major disappointment for the hosts.
