- Kick-off: 8.00pm
- Preview: Italy vs Republic of Ireland
- Preview: Sweden vs Belgium
- Ireland will go through with a win, most likely as a best third placed team.
- However, they can still finish second if Sweden beat Belgium and Ireland’s winning margin is at least two goals better than the Swedes’.
- Anything other than victory will spell the end of the tournament for Martin O’Neill’s men.
- Italy are already through as group winners, regardless of the result.
- Belgium only need a draw to guarantee second place. If they lose and the Republic of Ireland beat Italy, Belgium are out.
- Sweden will go through with a win and would secure second, unless Ireland beat Italy by three goals or more.
- Sweden are out if they lose. A Sweden draw combined with an Irish win would also see the Scandinavians go out.
