Wales vs. Ukraine time, TV channel, live stream, lineups, betting odds from World Cup playoff

It all comes down to this: Wales against Ukraine for a place at the 2022 World Cup.

Having overcome Austria to reach the European playoff final, Robert Page's side will have home advantage at Cardiff City Stadium as they bid to reach the finals of the World Cup for the first time in 64 years.

Standing in their way are a Ukraine side who defeated Scotland 3-1 to reach this point and who are buoyed by popular support, the national team continuing to challenge for a place in Qatar despite the ongoing war at home following Russia's invasion in February.

Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko said it would be a dream to qualify for the 2022 tournament as Ukraine's footballers continue to bring pride to their supporters, but in purely sporting terms, Wales are the underdogs — despite being nine places higher in the FIFA rankings.

Ukraine have competed at eight World Cups in their history, although none since 2006, whereas Wales have not been involved in international football's grandest tournament since they reached the quarterfinals back in 1958.

"Everyone in the world feels for Ukraine," said Gareth Bale this week. "It is sport that unites everybody. We understand what it will do for Ukraine, but we want to get to the World Cup.

"That is not coming from a horrible place. It is coming from our country and hearts as we want to deliver for our own fans."

Wales vs. Ukraine lineups

Page had a full squad from which to pick his side, including talisman Gareth Bale, who seems to be fit and ready to play.

Kieffer Moore returns to the attack with Page opting to drop Harry Wilson. Ben Davies starts in defence, alongside Tottenham teammate Joe Rodon.

Wales starting lineup (3-4-3, left to right): 1-Hennessey (GK) — 4-B. Davies, 6-Rodon, 15-Ampadu — 3-N. Williams, 7-Allen, 10-Ramsey, 13-Roberts — 20-James, 13-Moore, 11-Bale.

Wales subs (12): 12-Ward (GK), 21-A. Davies (GK), 2-Gunter, 5-Mepham, 8-Wilson, 9-Johnson, 16-Morrell, 17-Norrington-Davies, 18-J. Williams, 19-Harris, 22-Thomas, 23-Matondo

Ukraine, who have promised to hang a flag in their dressing room that was sent to them from soldiers fighting against Russia, produced an accomplished display against Scotland that was supremely impressive given the devastating scenes at home.

They are fielding the same lineup for the match in Cardiff, where Andriy Yarmolenko will almost certainly be key.
