Wales vs Kazakhstan: 11/2 treble for Cardiff clash

Written by: Brad Walker

Wales' World Cup 2026 qualification quest gets underway when they host Kazakhstan in Cardiff on Saturday. 

Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the match-up and put up an 11/2 treble. 

Wales vs Kazakhstan bet-builder selections for Saturday, March 22, 2025

Selection #1 - Liam Cullen (Wales) to score anytime 

The Swansea forward may only have seven caps for his country so far, but he certainly left his biggest mark yet last time out. 

Cullen dazzled after recording two goals and two assists in Wales' 4-1 win over Iceland in the Nations League, marking his first goals in a red shirt. 

Confidence will be at an all-time high ahead of his meeting with Kazakhstan, particularly when considering the defensive record of the visitors. 

Kazakhstan have kept just two clean sheets in their last 13, suggesting more success could lie in wait for Cullen in the Welsh capital. 

Selection #2 - Brennan Johnson (Wales) to have over 0.5+ shots on target

Johnson's form may have dropped off at club level after a positive start to the season, but he has maintained his momentum in a Wales shirt.

The 23-year-old has picked up two goals and an assist in his last three appearances at international level, proving to be a formidable threat in attacking areas. 

Johnson has also registered at least one shot on target in three of his last four games for Wales and so, having already mentioned Kazakhstan's defensive woes, there's more than enough value in putting him up to do the same again.

Selection #3 - Over 3.5+ goals

Kazakhstan fared even worse in defensive quarters on the road during the Nations League.

Having averaged an alarming four goals conceded in away fixtures, they also failed to record a single clean sheet across the three matches. 

Wales' recent outings have also seen their own fair share of goalscoring action. 

Two of their six Nations League matches saw at least four goals scored in total, including the recent 4-1 win over Iceland. 

The hosts rightly come into this one favourites given everything we've seen from both, but another goal fest could also lie in wait for the home crowd in their first match en route to hopeful World Cup qualification.
