The Welsh have suffered back-to-back defeats to Montenegro and Bulgaria now travel to Switzerland, who are also pointless after two Group G matches.
"Miracles are needed to if we are to get second place in this group," said Aston Villa defender Collins.
"And we can't expect to qualify after losing our first two qualifiers."
Wales have failed to qualify for a major championship finals since starring at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
The Welsh did make it to a European Championship quarter-finals - losing to Yugoslavia - in 1976 but, unlike the present day, the European finals were only made up of the last four teams.
Wales lost 1-0 in Montenegro - who now top the group thanks to three wins from three matches - before a 1-0 defeat by Bulgaria at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday.
Now Wales go to Switzerland hoping to avoid losing their opening three qualifiers - an unwanted feat a Welsh team has not suffered since the 1970 World Cup qualifying campaign.
