Wales and Italy lock horns at the Swansea Stadium in Swansea City on Tuesday for their final group fixture of the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League in a dead rubber.
Ranked 31st in the world, the Welsh side have already been relegated to League B after failing to win any of their five games in the campaign thus far. They only have two points in the bag, courtesy of a pair of 1-1 draws to Sweden, home and away.
Their relegation was confirmed following a 1-0 loss to Denmark in their last game, as Pernille Harder's 48th-minute strike made the difference on the day.
That allowed Italy, who drew to Sweden on the same day, to extend their points difference with Wales to five, so the Dragons cannot mathematically usurp them on the table with just one game remaining.
Le Azzurre are heading into the relegation play-offs as things stand, but could still finish in second place: they must beat Wales and hope that Denmark doesn't win against Sweden in the other game. In case of a draw in the latter, Italy would still finish second, courtesy of a better goal difference.

Wales Women vs Italy Women Prediction
