CHERRIES winger Harry Wilson believes Wales have the ability to upset World Cup finalists Croatia and boost their Euro 2020 qualification chances.

Wales kept their qualifying hopes alive with a battling 1-1 draw in Slovakia on Thursday.

Ryan Giggs' side remain three points off second-placed Slovakia but with a game in hand.

The Dragons' next test is against Group E leaders Croatia, who would secure qualification with a Cardiff win on Sunday.

Croatia won the reverse fixture 2-1 in June but Wilson believes Wales acquitted themselves well that day in Osijek.

"We know what a fantastic team Croatia are," said Wilson, the Liverpool forward currently on loan with Cherries.

"But we went out there in the summer and, although we lost, we created chances.

"We know we're good enough to create chances against them and it's up to us to take them.

"We've got to recover now and make sure we're ready for that game."

Giggs’s side are without Wilson’s Cherries team-mates David Brooks and Chris Mepham during this international break.

Brooks continues to nurse an ankle problem, while Mepham has picked up a calf injury.

Three closing wins in the group would guarantee second spot as Wales would finish above Slovakia on their head-to-head record, and two successes could be enough.

Wales finish their campaign in November away to Azerbaijan and at home to Hungary.

"We knew we had to come to Slovakia and not lose," said Wilson, mindful that Wales had won their Cardiff clash in March.

"That gives us a better head-to-head with Slovakia and that's a big advantage.

"But all our focus now is on Sunday and getting the result we need."
