Life has been pretty sweet for Wales under Bellamy, the enfant terrible of soccer as a player who has since transformed into a progressive manager. Unbeaten in his first nine matches in the dugout since July 2024, the former Liverpool, Newcastle and Blackburn Rovers forward has overseen quite the uptick in his country's fortunes — they're second behind North Macedonia after two wins, one draw and one defeat from their first four qualifiers. Only a late Kevin De Bruyne winner in a 4-3 defeat by Belgium deprived the Dragons of staying unbeaten. Captain Aaron Ramsey has been left out of the squad, while Ethan Ampadu misses out through injury, but Spurs' Brennan Johnson should feature.

There have been meager recent returns for Kazakhstan, ranked 114th in the world, and who have lost 14 of their past 17 internationals, with only victories against lowly Curaçao and Liechtenstein coming in that time. That Liechtenstein victory followed a 3-1 loss to Wales in Cardiff, with a 1-0 home defeat by North Macedonia their most recent result. All bar three members of head coach Ali Aliyev's squad play their soccer domestically, with defender Nuraly Alip, 14-goal all-time top scorer Bakhtiyar Zaynutdinov and forward Maksim Samorodov respectively playing for Zenit St Petersburg, Dynamo Moscow and Akhmat Grozny in Russia.

Can Wales bounce back from that Belgium defeat? Or will Kazakhstan pull off the upset? Read on to get all the details of how you can watch Kazakhstan vs Wales live streams online, from anywhere and for FREE.
