Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes that Real Madrid star Gareth Bale will be able to inspire Wales to achieve a desirable result against Russia at Euro2016 on Monday.

Chris Coleman's side currently have three points from their two games and a draw against Russia would be enough to secure their passage to the last 16.

Merson believes that Bale, who scored the opening goal for Wales in each of their two fixtures, can be the man to again lead the Dragons to at least a 1-1 draw which will should see them finish second in Group B.

Merson writes in his column for Sky Sports: "I'm going for a draw in this one, which will be enough for Wales if England win.

"Russia have been very poor and although I was disappointed with the Welsh against England, they still have the X-factor of Gareth Bale.

"If he can come up with one moment of magic, it should be enough to get them through to the last 16."
