Wales can take another step towards the end of their 64-year wait to reach a World Cup when they host Austria in one of four World Cup qualifiers to be held across Europe.
The various races to make this winter’s finals in Qatar are coming to an end around the world with tough matches in South America and Asia. Scotland will have to wait to find out if they are heading to the World Cup and in the meantime face Poland in a friendly.
