Hello and welcome to tonight’s live blog.
Ireland faces Slovakia and the winner will face Bosnia or Northern Ireland on November 12 for a place in the Euro.
Bookies have Slovaks as little favorites for this game, but it’s hard to call out.
Both teams are entering the game after disappointing performances in the Nations League as they failed to automatically qualify for their group.
This is a great night for both coaches; It is arguably the most important game of Stephen Kenny’s career in his third game in charge, while Pavel Hapal’s contract has yet to extend beyond this season.
