Preamble
Will this wild and wonderful international break, packed full of exhilarating drama already – Kerem Aktürkoğlu’s missed penalty, Andrew Robertson’s last-gasp winner – deliver one last fingernail-bothering treat? The way Wales have been dishing up the entertainment since Craig Bellamy took over, all signs point firmly to yes. Wales could win automatic promotion to League A tonight. Or they could drop into a relegation play-off. Or they could secure a spot in the promotion play-offs, which could potentially lead to a March showdown with The Joe Jordan Country. Now that would make for some good watching. But let nobody get ahead of themselves: Wales have a job to do tonight in Cardiff, where a draw would be enough to keep promotion hopes alive … but the second-half runaround Iceland gave them in Reykjavik reminds them that nothing is certain. With Turkey simultaneously looking to seal top spot in Montenegro, a riveting couple of hours stretch out ahead. Kick-off in Cardiff is at 7.45pm. It’s on!
