Estonia and Wales will trade tackles in a Group E 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Monday.

The home side come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 2-0 home win over Belarus on Friday. Erik Sorga and Sergei Zenjov scored second-half goals to guide the Sinisärgid to all three points.

Wales played out a 2-2 draw away to the Czech Republic. Aaron Ramsey and Daniel James scored in either half to help the Dragons leave Prague with a point.

The draw meant Wales remained in third place, having garnered eight points from five matches. Estonia are in fourth place on four points and need a victory to maintain their slim hopes of securing a playoff spot.


Estonia vs Wales Head-to-Head

This will be only the fourth meeting between the two sides and Estonia are yet to register a victory against Wales. The visitors have two wins to their name, while one previous match ended in a share of the spoils.

The draw came in their most recent meeting, a goalless draw in the first leg in September.

The hosts returned to winning ways on Friday after going three games without a win. Wales have won just one of their last six matches.

Estonia vs Wales Prediction

Wales have struggled for consistency in recent months but the visitors still have distinctly better players than Estonia.

A victory for the British side would put them in control in the race for second spot in the group and we are backing Rob Page's side to get the result with a comfortable victory.

Prediction: Estonia 0-2 Wales
