Wales have their Euro 2024 qualifying fate in their own hands after consecutive wins in Group D, and they visit Armenia on Saturday, where a win will put them within three points of the finals next summer.
After defeating group favorites Croatia last time out, the Dragons will look to avenge a humiliating home loss to Armenia earlier in the tournament; their hosts, meanwhile, remain in contention.
Rob Page's side won 2-1 in Cardiff thanks to a Harry Wilson brace, and the Dragons can now qualify directly for Germany 2024 if they beat Armenia and Turkey in their final two games.
Reaching a fourth major tournament in five years would be quite an accomplishment, and with equal points with Croatia and a superior head-to-head record, they are now in pole position to join Group D leaders Turkey in the top two.
In fact, if Wales defeats Armenia and Croatia defeats Latvia, Wales will avoid a potential playoff and seal qualification this week, though the latter outcome is highly unlikely.
Having never competed in a Euro finals until 2016, another summer spent among Europe's elite is now within reach - a dramatic turnaround after damaging back-to-back qualifying defeats in June and a poor showing at last year's World Cup.
After losing 4-2 to Armenia in a tense match at Cardiff City Stadium, some questioned Page's future as national coach, but he will now be eager to capitalize on his team's upward trend.
Armenia possible starting lineup:
Cancarevic; Calisir, Arutyunyan, Mkrtchyan; Dashyan, Iwu, Spertsyan, Tiknizyan; Briasco, Barseghyan; Zelarayan
Wales possible starting lineup:
Ward; Mepham, Rodon, Davies; Roberts, J. James, Ampadu, Williams; Johnson, Wilson; Moore
Wales will not take anything for granted at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium, despite being right back in the mix for automatic qualification. Matching last month's heroics against Croatia may be difficult, but the Dragons can still defeat their tricky hosts by the smallest of margins.
