Sophie Ingle says Wales’s players “have to believe that we can get a result” against Switzerland in their World Cup playoff on Tuesday night.

Wales travel to Switzerland bidding to book their finals place in Australia and New Zealand next year having beaten Bosnia‑Herzegovina 1-0 in Cardiff last Thursday. Victory will not automatically secure a World Cup spot, however, with Scotland hosting the Republic of Ireland and Portugal meeting Iceland and only two of the winning teams qualifying directly on the basis of their qualification records. The country that misses out will go into an inter‑confederation playoff in February.
