Craig Bellamy believes Wales' recent win against Norway has "thrown a hand grenade" into their Nations League group, making the race for places wide open. Wales, despite remaining bottom of Group A4, are now level on points with World Cup quarter-finalists Norway and Denmark at the halfway stage of the campaign.
The team is now aiming for another victory against Denmark in Cardiff on Sunday. A win would be a significant step towards avoiding a last-place finish and would also provide a boost to their European Championship qualification hopes. Finishing third or higher in their Nations League group would secure Wales a top seed position in December's Euro 2028 qualifying draw.
Bellamy acknowledged that Portugal are expected to win the group, but feels the competition for other spots has intensified. He also confirmed that there will be changes to the team that started against Norway due to player availability, as Wales play the final game in this four-match international window.
