Wales vs Croatia LIVE: Dragons clinging to Euro 2024 hopes in crucial qualifier

The Dragons are fourth in Group D, only ahead of winless minnows Latvia, but their fate just about remains in their hands.

Rob Page's side have lost icon Gareth Bale along with Joe Allen, Chris Gunter and Jonny Williams to retirement since the World Cup.

And two defeats from their following four games look to have ended their Euro 2024 hopes before they beat Latvia 2-0 last month.

Another victory would see Wales join Croatia in second on 10 points, with crunch clashes against third-placed Armenia and table-toppers Turkey still to come.

These two teams drew 1-1 when they met in March, with Nathan Broadhead scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to rescue a point.
