Northern Ireland will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-finals of the Euro 2020 play-offs on March 26.
But what do we know of the Bosnians who beat Michael O’Neill’s men home and away in the recent UEFA Nations League?
Here’s a rough guide:
WHAT’S THEIR RECENT FORM LIKE?
Poor. They won just four of their 10 Euro 2020 qualifiers and finished fourth in the six-team Group J. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to Italy in their penultimate pool outing on Friday but at least finished on a high with a 3-0 win in Liechtenstein on Monday.

WHO IS THEIR MANAGER?
Former Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder Robert Prosinecki was appointed 22 months ago. Bizarrely, he resigned in September, only to change his mind two days later.
WHO ARE THEIR STAR NAMES?
Roma striker Edin Dzeko and Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic, who is currently out with a thigh injury, are the standout players in Robert Prosinecki’s team.
DO ANY OF THEIR PLAYERS PLY THEIR TRADE IN ENGLAND?
Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac and Sheffield United midfielder Muhamed Besic are both included in Prosinecki’s current squad.
HOW DID OUR RECENT MEETINGS WITH THEM GO?
Northern Ireland were unfortunate to lose 2-1 in Belfast in a Nations League fixture 14 months ago while Edin Dzeko bagged a double in a 2-0 win in the return game in Sarajevo.
WHEN IS THE OFFICIAL DRAW FOR THE PLAY-OFFS?
It will be held in Nyon, Switzerland tomorrow.
