The final four qualifiers for the European Championships will be decided today with the playing of the second legs of the runner-up play-offs. Some of the ties look all wrapped up, and most interest will be on Portugal's clash with Bosnia-Herzgovina in Lisbon. The home side were lucky to escape with a 0-0 draw on Friday, and they will be under plenty of pressure to get the job done today back home. Montenegro are still in with a chance, but will need a great performance at home to turn around their 2-0 deficit against the Czech Republic.
In the other two games, the home sides' fans will be in party mode after strong away wins on Friday. Ireland have a four goal cushion after their thumping of Estonia in Tallinn, while Croatia won 3-0 in Turkey and should be untroubled in completing their passage to Poland and Ukraine next summer.
