Wales continue their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign on Tuesday night when they host Latvia at Cardiff City Stadium.

The game kicks off at 7.45pm, it is live on S4C and ViaPlay.

In the group's other game, Croatia go to Turkey at the same time.

Wales began the campaign with a 1-1 draw in Croatia, Turkey won 2-1 at Armenia in their first game and this is Latvia's opening game.

Ireland beat Latvia 3-2 in a friendly last week.

Ireland dominated. All the possession and play, but Latvia still managed 2 goals. Not sure if this is a worry or a reflection of how poor Ireland's defence is?!

The Welsh FA have done really well to pretty much sell out a post-Bale qualifier with Latvia. A Wales game is an event these days, like the rugby internationals always have been, so hopefully the huge peaks and troughs in attendances based on form are now a thing of the past

A shame there are no afternoon games like the rugby. Great to get a decent crowd on a midweek however

Agree with this. It is becoming something people want to be part of more than the game itself, ( but with less drunkenness etc than the rugby).
There are people going tonight who have never been before, which is fantastic considering it is Latvia (not England, Germany, Spain ) on a wet cold Tuesday night. Long may it continue and the game and support keep growing.

Are times changing I wonder?
Safer from drunken behaviour at an international football match rather than rugby.

Wales on top early on with Wilson having an effort saved already

Elsewhere, Scotland are 1-0 up against Spain

Agreed.

Croatia 1-0 up at Turkey in this group's other game

god, its slow and boring. We are carrying Rambo, Wilson is playing well

Wilson harshly booked

GOAL!! 1-0 Wales

Kieffer Moore heads in Dan James' cross

Need to be a bit braver.

I know it's 1-0. But do we really need 9 players behind the ball?! Poor Kieffer has f**k all support.

HT: WALES 1-0 LATVIA

Glad we are 1 nil up, but a frustrating first half at times. Hope the second half performance is better by Wales.

Croatia 2-0 up at Turkey at half time

We need to move the ball quicker in their half. It's too slow. And give it to Dan James and tell him to run at his marker, he's doing him for pace almost everytime.
Also, who dressed Gareth bale tonight? I think he got dressed in the dark ffs

So close to 2-0 as Williams' shot is pushed on to the crossbar by the goalkeeper

Much better at the start of the second half from Wales

This referee is giving all the decisions to Latvia

Ramsey clearly taken out and he waves play on for some reason

Scotland 2-0 up against Spain

Ward makes another good save

Broadhead replaces James

Somebody set some fireworks off to wake everyone up zzzzz

10 minutes to go and not a lot happening

Wales need that second goal to get the job done
