Wales v North Macedonia LIVE: Kick-off time, TV channel and score updates

Craig Bellamy's Wales host North Macedonia at Cardiff City Stadium tonight in match key to their World Cup qualification hopes.

Both sides have the chance to finish as Group J runners-up this evening, with a win for the men in red and a draw for the away team enough to guarantee second place behind Belgium.

Wales have already secured a place in the play-offs next March via their Nations League group win but victory against the Balkans country would mean a home semi-final and in theory an easier route to the tournament in North America next summer.

A draw or defeat would mean an away tie against higher seeded opponents. You can read more about the play-off permutations here.

Bellamy will be without Aaron Ramsey, Ben Davies, Ben Cabango, Kieffer Moore, Ethan Ampadu and Jordan James tonight in what represents a stiff test against a good North Macedonian side.

The game is being shown live on BBC One Wales and S4C this evening, and you'll be able to follow live updates in our blog below.

Kick-off is 7.45pm.
