Wales manager Ryan Giggs thinks tonight's match will be another tough test.

Tyler Roberts hopes there will be no cases of racism when Wales return to playing in front of a crowd in Bulgaria in tonight's Nations League match.

With the 44,000-capacity Vasil Levski National Stadium allowed to be 30% full, there could be up to 13,200 fans.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Wales have not played in a game with fans since last year's win over Hungary.

Bulgaria were punished last year for their fans' racist abuse of England players in a Euro 2020 qualifier.

"Hopefully there are restrictions and things put in place to help prevent that type of thing," said 21-year-old Leeds United forward Roberts.

Wales's injuries and suspensions 21-year-old young Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts gets just a fourth start for his country.

Roberts has been discussing his chance to represent Wales and how his club manager, Marcelo Bielsa, has changed the way he plays and thinks about the game.

You might have been out and about on Sunday and missed Wales' 0-0 draw with the Republic of Ireland.

Did you miss a thriller? You'll only find out if you read the report from Sunday's game (or if you look at the score and use your common sense).

Wales have a long list of players unavailable tonight.

Aaron Ramsey is the latest player to pull out with injury, the Juventus midfielder following Gareth Bale, Joe Allen, David Brooks and Hal Robson-Kanu in withdrawing due to fitness concerns.

Ryan Giggs' side are also without two players due to suspension, striker Kieffer Moore and midfielder Joe Morrell.

Eek.

Wales manager Ryan Giggs makes four changes from Sunday’s goalless draw away against the Republic of Ireland, and there seems to be a change in formation to a wing-backs system similar to the one his predecessor Chris Coleman used at Euro 2016.

Most of the changes are enforced. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey is out injured, while striker Kieffer Moore and midfielder Joe Morrell are suspended. Full-back Connor Roberts is the other player to miss out.

Luton defender Rhys Norrington-Davies makes his debut at left wing-back and on the other flank Liverpool’s Neco Williams gets a first start. Chris Mepham returns in defence, with Tyler Roberts leading the attack.

Wales XI: Hennessey; Mepham, Rodon, B. Davies (capt); N. Williams, Smith, Ampadu, Norrington-Davies; Wilson, James, T. Roberts.

Bulgaria manager Georgi Dermendzhiev makes seven changes from the 2-0 loss to Finland.

Goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov replaces Martin Lukov, while there are three changes in defence with Cicinho, Georgi Terziev and Anton Nedyalkov replacing Popov, Vasil Bozhikov and Dimitar Velkovski.

In midfield, Yanis Karabelyov and Todor Nedelev replace Aleksandar Tvestkov and Dimitar Iliev, while Bozhidar Kraev takes Ismail Isa’s place up front.

Good evening,

Well you just can't stay away can you? You Nations League enthusiast, you.

So here we are again, just three days on from a very forgettable 0-0 draw with the Republic of Ireland, Wales will do it all again in Sofia against Bulgaria.

The difference today? For the first time in a long time and with a hopeful glimpse of the future, Wales will play tonight in front of human fans, though sadly, none of them will be bricks from Wales' red wall.

The bad news for Wales is that they are depleted tonight and will play without a host of big names and any recognised centre forwards.

We've only seen two goals in Wales' 270 minutes of Nations League games so far, so goals galore might not be on the menu... but it's still football, it's still Wales and let us not forget, Ryan Giggs' side are top of the group at the moment....
