Wales manager Chris Coleman has admitted that he has been impressed by Croatia during their World Cup qualifying campaign.

The two sides meet in Cardiff on Tuesday night, with the Croats sitting joint-top of Group A, 10 points clear of Wales.

Despite their opponents' superiority in the table, Coleman insists that there are similarities between the two teams.

"Croatia have impressed me the most - offensively they're very aggressive and they're quite physical. And obviously they've got a guy in the middle of the park, Luka Modric, who would grace any team," Coleman told Sky Sports News.

"This will be a very tough game for different reasons than Friday, but we've got to play our own game. We passed the ball very well at Hampden Park and were very exciting. We have to have that same philosophy.

"Sometimes you get results and sometimes you don't, but the important thing for Wales is that we've got a style of play we're trying to evolve."

Wales go into the game on the back of a 2-1 win against Scotland at Hampden Park on Friday.
