Northern Ireland are in Slovakia on Friday evening for a vital World Cup Qualifiers clash.

Michael O'Neill's side are third in Group A, three points back from their hosts and leaders Germany, with two games remaining.

Top spot and automatic qualification for World Cup 2026 looks to be out of reach for the visitors but a win or draw in Slovakia would leave them well-placed to finish second and secure a play-off spot ahead of their final group match against Luxembourg.

Though last year's Nations League group win offers them an alternative route to the play-offs, Northern Ireland will not want to leave anything to chance.

They beat Slovakia comfortably at Windsor Park last month but can expect a tougher test at Košická futbalová aréna on Friday.
