Northern Ireland host Slovakia in a crunch UEFA Euro 2020 play-off final at Windsor Park
Northern Ireland can secure their spot at Euro 2020 with a play-off final victory over Slovakia at Windsor Park on Thursday night.
But manager Ian Baraclough faces a tough challenge to get his side over the line, with the team having failed to win a game within 90 minutes so far this season.
There are four Euro 2020 play-off fixtures taking place on Thursday, with Scotland the other home nation eyeing a spot in the finals next summer.
And Northern Ireland have already had to come through one scrape to get here, having edged Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-3 on penalises in October’s semi-final.
Slovakia will likely put up a strong challenge in Belfast and have never lost to the Northern Irish.

Northern Ireland v Slovakia team news
Northern Ireland: Gavin Whyte should start in midfield, while centre-back Jonny Evans is expected to be fit enough to keep his place in the XI.
However, Corry Evans is out. Goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell should keep his spot between the sticks, with Josh Magennis tipped to start up front on his own.
Slovakia: Defender Milan Skriniar is expected to return to the side following his absence from the semi-final win over Republic of Ireland.
Vladimir Weiss is recalled and may feature up front for Slovakia for the first time in two years, while Marek Hamsik will be the creative threat in the middle of the park.
Our prediction: Northern Ireland v Slovakia
Slovakia contained Republic of Ireland during an even contest in the Euro 2020 play-off semi-final but have since lost to Scotland and Israel.
And with Northern Ireland seeking to bolster their form following 1-0 defeats to Austria and Norway, the hosts will hope to catch their visitors in a lull here.
This will be a tense game at Windsor Park and it could well finish level after 90 minutes. But boss Baraclough would probably take his chances at a penalty shootout if it were offered him before kick off.
Our prediction: Northern Ireland 1-1 Slovakia (N. Ireland win on penalties)
