Bale backs Wales for top spot

Wales are currently in third place in group D, two points behind Ireland and four behind group leaders Serbia, but with those two playing each other on Tuesday night, Bale is hoping to take advantage by beating Moldova.

Speaking ahead of the game in Chisinau, Bale told the press: "I said we had four finals to keep our hopes alive

"If we win all four we'll have a great chance of top spot, and if not we'll get into the play-offs. One down, three to go. This is important too, we'll be going into the match confident and prepared very well.

"We know they'll make it difficult but we'll do everything to get the points and put ourselves in an even better position.

"If I didn't think we could do it (qualify) I wouldn't be here.

"We all still believe we can do it. That's the most important part."

Is Bale right? Can Wales seal top spot in group D?
