Wales have won 8 of their recent 16 matches with coach Craig Bellamy
The team's focus are squarely on Thursday's World Cup playoff fixture as they prepare for discovering their semi-final and potential final challengers.
After ended as runners-up in their qualifying group following a dominant 7-1 win over North Macedonia – their biggest win since 1978 – Wales will play the semifinal match on home soil.
They will play against either the Albanian side, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Kosovan team or Ireland in that match on 26 March.
Ex- Wales forward Rob Earnshaw feels the Dragons will relish a match against any opponent following their most recent performance at Cardiff City Stadium.
"I'm familiar with Craig Bellamy, I played with him and his mindset is 'bring on anyone, we're ready'," Earnshaw stated.
"Many supporters were asking recently, 'should we really want Ireland as it's that local feel?'. I think a number of supporters were hesitant. But for me, that would be fantastic.
"It's one of those, indeed, we'll take Kosovo or Bosnia and Albania are competitive and Ireland, of course, they are a capable team so they'll be difficult.
"But you just feel that we'll take anybody right now and it doesn't matter, and a lot of that is because of Craig Bellamy."
Wales sit 34th in the FIFA rankings, with Albania 61st, Republic of Ireland 62nd, Bosnia seventy-fifth and the Kosovan side eighty-fourth.
Albania enjoyed a impressive qualification run, with their sole defeats suffered at the hands of Group K winners England, who secured full points without conceding a single goal.
Burnley's Armando Broja and Lazio's Elseid Hysaj are among the Albanian squad's more notable players, though it was ex- Inter Milan, Barcelona and Watford striker Rey Manaj who led their goal tally in the qualifiers with three goals.
Notably, Albania have not yet qualified for a FIFA World Cup, although they participated at Euro 2016 and the 2024 Euros, failing to reach the last 16 on both occasions.
As Slovenia and Sweden had difficult runs, with each failing to win a qualification match, Group B was a direct battle between Switzerland and the Kosovan team.
The Swiss finished the six-match qualifiers three points clear of the Kosovans, whose single defeat came at the hands of the pool winners.
The Kosovan squad feature ex- Manchester City keeper Arijanet Muric and Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi – his country's all-time top scorer – in a team targeting a first international competition appearance.
They have never faced the Welsh team.
Bosnia lost only one time in qualifying, and claimed a point more than Wales achieved in their eight games, but still finished 2 points behind of their group winners Austria.
They were a quarter of an hour away from securing a spot at the finals, but Michael Gregoritsch's equaliser for the Austrians ensured the pair drew in the last game of qualifying and Ralf Rangnick's team won the pool.
The Welsh have not managed to beat the Bosnian side in four attempts but did have a memorable defeat against the Dragons as they earned qualification for the 2016 European Championship under Chris Coleman despite the defeat.
As his nation's all-time top goalscorer and record appearance player, former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, currently with Fiorentina, is undoubtedly Bosnia-Herzegovina's standout player.
The veteran was his team's leading goalscorer in the qualifiers with five goals.
And finally, we have Republic of Ireland.
Having taken only a single point from their first three qualifiers, Heimir Hallgrímsson's side stormed into the play-offs with successive wins against Armenia, Portugal and Hungary.
Troy Parrott netted the two goals against Euro 2016 winners Portugal before bagging a triple – with the third goal coming in the 96th minute – as the Republic of Ireland surprised Hungary to secure runner-up place in their group in dramatic style.
Key player Seamus Coleman had a crucial role in his team's resurgence while Premier League keeper Caoimhin Kelleher has secured the starting jersey his to keep.
The Republic of Ireland are without a win in their last 4 meetings with Wales, losing three of these, though James McClean broke the hearts of the Welsh fans as Martin O'Neill's men won a decisive World Cup qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium in 2017.
