Ethan Ampadu reckons Wales are now battle-hardened enough to chop down the Poles next week – and take their place at the Euro 2024 finals this summer. The Wales midfielder played another key role for his team on Thursday night as they flattened Finland 4-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium to set up a play-off final showdown against Poland on Tuesday.

Rob Page has pinpointed Dan James as a symbol of why Wales will go into Tuesday night’s Euro 2024 play-off final against Poland with huge confidence. Wales have not beaten the Poles for over 50 years, but are just one more home victory from making their fourth major tournament finals out of the last five.

Robert Pages is ready to unleash his Welsh speedsters on Poland as he looks to book qualification for this summer’s European Championships.

Osian Roberts is backing Wales to continue on the journey he started with Chris Coleman in 2016 by moving a step closer to another Euros finals qualification tonight (Thurs) Roberts was assistant manager to Chris Coleman when Wales broke new ground eight years ago by reaching the tournament finals in France – their first tournament appearance for 58 years.

Rob Page insists Wales need their A-game to eliminate Finland and make the Euro 2024 play-off final. Wales start as clear favourites in Cardiff on Thursday to beat opponents ranked 60th in the world – 31 places below them – and progress to a home play-off final against Estonia or Poland.

Joe Rodon believes Wales can count on their tournament experience against Finland to progress in the Euro 2024 play-offs. Wales are aiming to qualify for a third successive European Championship and a fourth major tournament in five over the next week.

Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead are the Tractor Boys who can plough Wales to the Euro 2024 play-off final on Thursday night. That’s the prediction of Wales manager Rob Page as he prepares his team to face Finland in the crunch semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium.

Ethan Ampadu insists he has a lot more to achieve in football as he prepares to become the youngest Welshman to win 50 caps. Ampadu is set to break Chris Gunter’s record at the tender age of 23 in Thursday’s Euro 2024 play-off semi-final against Finland in Cardiff.

Wales manager Rob Page has defended Danny Ward and blamed “politics” for the out-of-favour Leicester City goalkeeper not moving in the January transfer window. Ward, Wales’ number one, has not played for Leicester in over 12 months and finds himself third-choice goalkeeper at the Championship promotion-chasers.

Ethan Ampadu can steer Wales towards the Euro 2024 finals on Thursday night – by underlining why he is their next Celtic warrior leader after Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Ampadu will win his 50th cap at the age of just 23 when Wales host Finland in their crunch play-off semi-final in Cardiff. It’s a landmark achievement which Wales manager Rob Page insists proves Ampadu is likely to be his country’s next long-term captain in succession to Bale and Ramsey.

Normal service was resumed in the South Wales derby as Liam Cullen and Jamal Lowe scored the goals that barely reflected the total dominance of Swansea City over rivals Cardiff in a 2-0 home win. Despite arriving on the back of a four-match winning streak – a run that had prompted optimism around a late promotion surge – Cardiff were second best in every aspect. “We won in a really positive way and I can’t argue with the way we went about it today,” said Swans head coach Luke Williams.

Luke Williams admits his wounded Swansea City squad are only too aware of the significance of Saturday’s derby clash with Cardiff City. The Swans sit 15th in the Championship following a drab 1-0 defeat to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Sunday – a result that leaves the Swans just five points above the relegation zone.

Aaron Ramsey could yet be plunged into a dramatic and red-hot comeback against Swansea City this weekend. The Wales skipper last started a Championship game for Cardiff City in the South Wales Derby in the Welsh capital six months ago, when he helped to end a run of four successive defeats by stroking home a penalty in a 2-0 win.

Bournemouth staged an astonishing fightback from three goals down to beat Luton Town 4-3 and spoil Wales’ Tom Lockyer’s emotional return to the scene of his near-death ordeal on Wednesday. Lockyer collapsed on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest during the second half of Luton’s Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium on December 16.

Aaron Ramsey has been included in Wales’ Euro 2024 play-off squad, despite not starting a match for six months. The 84-times capped Wales skipper suffered a knee injury in September and was out until February, making two substitute appearances for Cardiff City before picking up a calf complaint.
