Northern Ireland to travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina in Euro 2020 playoffs

Northern Ireland will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Euro 2020 playoffs.

Michael O'Neill's side will be on their travels next March as they look to book their place in the finals.

Wales' win over Hungary on Tuesday night means Northern Ireland remain in League B.

They will travel to Bosnia for the playoff semi-finals on March 26, with the winners playing the victors of Slovakia vs Republic of Ireland five days later.

The semi-final will see Northern Ireland renew rivalries with a team they played twice in the UEFA Nations League - both times coming out on the losing end.

Bosnia claimed a 2-1 win at Windsor Park on September 8 last year, Will Grigg scoring an injury time consolation.

The following month O'Neill's side lost 2-0 in Sarajevo, Edin Dzeko with both goals for the hosts.

Bosnia finished top of the Nations League League B with Austria three points behind in second and Northern Ireland last.

Since then Bosnia have played 11 times, winning four, drawing once and losing six.
