Sports Mole looks ahead to Wales's 2014 World Cup qualifier against Croatia at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday.

Wales will be looking for their first back-to-back wins of the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign when they host Croatia at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday.

Gareth Bale has said that he expects to be fit for the match, having been brought off early against Scotland due to a virus.

However, the hosts will be without former captain Aaron Ramsey, as he is suspended following his dismissal during the win over Scotland on Friday.

Croatia, who are second in group A, head into the match following a 2-0 win over Serbia on Friday, which was their third consecutive win in the qualifying campaign.

Strikers Ivica Olic and Mario Mandzukic are in strong goalscoring form for their country, having both netted during Friday's victory.

Recent form

Wales: LLWLLW

Croatia: WDWWWW

Possible lineups

Wales: Myhill, Gunter, Davies, Ricketts, Williams, Ledley, King, Robson-Kanu, Church, Bale, Bellamy

Croatia: Pletikosa, Srna, Simunic, Corluka, Vida, Kovacic, Modric, Rakitic, Kranjcar, Mandzukic, Olic

Sports Mole says: 1-2
