England vs Wales Prediction 09.10.2025 | International Friendly

Under Thomas Tuchel’s guidance, the England national team has looked very dominant, already asserting their authority in the World Cup qualifying group by recording five wins from as many matches, which has naturally propelled them to the top of Group K.

With three games remaining in this qualifying cycle, the Three Lions could already confirm their place at next June’s World Cup when they visit Latvia on October 14, as they currently hold an eight-point lead over second-placed Albania.

England didn’t just dominate as the highest scorers in their group with 13 goals; they were equally impressive defensively, winning every match on this stage without conceding, and they head into their meeting with Wales in excellent form.

Star player Jude Bellingham has recovered but isn’t yet ready for the October international fixtures, while Jarell Quansah and Nico O’Reilly have earned their first-ever call-ups and hope to see some playing time.

Unlike their close neighbors, who handled their World Cup qualifying challenges with ease, Wales will face a fierce battle to finish among the top two in Group J, as they currently sit third with 10 points, just one behind group leaders North Macedonia.

As the campaign enters its final three matches, the Dragons are conscious that their upcoming home tie with Belgium will play a decisive role in their pursuit of consecutive World Cup appearances, with the teams tied on points for the moment.

Any success against neighbours England would be a big confidence boost, yet Craig Bellamy’s men have found recent away matches difficult, taking only one win in their last six and falling 4-0 to Slovakia in their latest friendly on the road.

The only newcomer in Wales’ squad is Cardiff City striker Isaak Davies, whose strong club performances caught Bellamy’s eye and earned him his first national call-up.
