Team Analysis
Gibraltar and Wales are about to engage in a friendly match prior to the Euro 2024 campaign, in which both teams didn't manage to secure a spot. Despite having a fairly good form, Wales is entering this match after a loss to Poland via a penalty shootout in the Euro Qualifiers' final. Gibraltar, on the other hand, had been underperforming for several months, with a striking 13-match losing streak. Even more dismal is their home record, with five straight losses. By contrast, Wales impresses with its away form, having remained unbeaten in four of the last five matches, having faced teams like Turkey, Croatia, and the USA.

Head-to-Head
The only historical match between Wales and Gibraltar ended with a motivational 4-0 victory for the former. Gibraltar's quite poor performance at home, with a tally of 17 goals conceded and none scored in their last five home games, suggests this upcoming game might be very similar. A high-scoring, one-sided affair can be anticipated, given these statistics and the fact that Wales has shown consistent capacity to score against weaker teams.

Odds Analysis
Due to the aforementioned factors, Wales is expected to have a definite advantage in this friendly match. Their performance is far more promising than Gibraltar's, certainly when the latter is playing on its home turf. Wales has the potential to secure a comfortable 4-0 victory, primarily because Gibraltar has consistently leaked goals at a concerning rate. A quick start can also be expected from Wales, with a prediction of scoring over 1.5 goals in the first half, in line with the trend of Gibraltar allowing early goals in four of the last five home games.

Pick: Wales to score over 1.5 goals in the first half
