Wales face a crucial international break under tough circumstances, starting today with a friendly clash against Finland.

The Welsh will be forced to field a depleted XI after Aaron Ramsey, Joe Rodon and Neco Williams pulled out of the squad, while a COVID outbreak has forced several players to isolate.

Goalkeeper Adam Davies tested positive for the virus, while Kieffer Moore has been ruled out as a close contact in a big blow for Robert Page ahead of the break.

Caretaker boss Page will be heartened by his side’s victory over Czech Republic in a qualifying game prior to Euro 2020, while he will take positives from Wales reaching the Last 16 in the tournament itself.

Finland have proven themselves to be a tough nut to crack without being particularly threatening themselves. They will hope to give a good account of themselves in this one ahead of their competitive clashes.

Our prediction: Finland v Wales

Wales are without some key men – Moore in particular is a big loss – and it’s up to Page to experiment with the players at his disposal in this one before two World Cup qualifiers.

Gareth Bale remains in the fold, so Wales aren’t totally lacking terms of top quality, but they may struggle to break down an organised Finnish backline in this one.

Our prediction: Finland 1-1 Wales (5/1 at bet365).
