Ireland V Denmark: Who’ll be right on the night?

And so it all comes down to this. Ninety minutes that will decide qualification for the Euro 2020 finals. One shot at redemption against all too familiar and, let’s not mince our words here, superior foes. A game Mick McCarthy has repeatedly referred to in the build-up as a ‘cup final’.

The real death or glory deal, then. Except it’s not. Confirmation that Ireland already have the admittedly dubious fall-back of a place in the play-offs next spring means death, at least of the sudden variety, is actually off the table tonight. But the potential for glory definitely remains.
