However, Northern Ireland’s chances are quite far fetched considering that they will also be hoping for Germany to lose against Belarus.

Michael O’Niel’s men currently reside at the third spot with 12 points and are three points away from Germany and Netherlands.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands just require a point in order to book their berth for the European competition.
