Craig Bellamy has had an excellent start to his tenure as Wales manager, securing promotion to the Nations League and now "shooting" for a place in the World Cup, which would be only the third in the country's history. The last one was completed in 2022, so the quality for something like that exists, but the task before the former Liverpool and Manchester City player is very difficult. The reason for this is that only first place in the table leads directly to the World Cup, while second place ensures play in the play-offs. The main favorite in Group "J" is Belgium, which is by far the strongest team on paper, while Wales, Kazakhstan and North Macedonia will fight for second place. The important thing for the Dragons is to get their qualifying campaign off to a good start and a win over Kazakhstan would certainly do that. Bellamy may be without the injured Wilson, Ramsey and Ampadu, but there are players like Brennan Johnson and the roar from the stands that has often been an advantage for Wales, who have not been defeated at home since 2023 (five wins, four draws):On the other hand, Kazakhstan has a very poor performance in the Nations League, and has never qualified for a major competition, so there is no need for confidence before the away game in Cardiff. A particular problem for this team is away games, they have suffered eight consecutive away defeats and I don't see how they can pull off a surprise in Wales. Bookmakers heavily favor the home team and I agree with them.

克雷格·贝拉米（Craig Bellamy）在担任威尔士主教练期间有一个出色的开端，确保晋级国家联赛，现在“有望”进入世界杯，这将是该国历史上的第三届世界杯。上一届世界杯是在2022年完成的，所以这类比赛的质量是存在的，但这位前利物浦和曼城球员面临的任务非常艰巨。这样做的原因是，只有在积分榜上获得第一名才能直接进入世界杯，而第二名才能确保参加附加赛。“J”组最受欢迎的是比利时，他们是目前纸面上最强的球队，而威尔士、哈萨克斯坦和北马其顿将争夺第二名。对于龙队来说，重要的是让他们的预选赛有一个好的开始，而战胜哈萨克斯坦肯定会做到这一点。贝拉米可能没有受伤的威尔逊、拉姆齐和安帕杜，但有像布伦南·约翰逊这样的球员和看台上的欢呼声，这对威尔士来说往往是一种优势，威尔士自2023年以来从未在主场被击败过（5胜4平）。另一方面，哈萨克斯坦在国家联赛中的表现非常糟糕，从未获得过重大比赛的资格，所以在加的夫客场比赛之前，他们不需要信心。这支球队的一个特别的问题是客场比赛，他们已经连续8场客场失利，我不认为他们能在威尔士取得一个惊喜。博彩公司非常看好主队，我同意他们的看法。
