Manchester City striker Natasha Harding says Wales women's Euro 2017 qualifier against Kazakhstan is a must-win game.

Wales host Kazakhstan in Haverfordwest on Thursday having lost their opening two qualifiers.

Jayne Ludlow's side lost 3-0 away to Austria in their Group 8 opener before a 4-0 defeat by Norway in October.

"We can't think of anything else. We can't think to draw or lose," Harding said.

Wales are bottom of the group after two defeats and are away to Israel on 1 December following their home game against Kazakhstan.

Former Bristol Academy player Harding, 26, says Wales remain positive despite losing their opening two games in the group.

"I think everyone's pretty confident going into this game that we are capable of competing with the top teams," Harding added.

"This is one team we need to perform well against and beat and that will help us move on to Israel."
