The Republic of Ireland will be away for both games in the playoff route to the Euro 2020 finals after today's draw saw them denied a home draw for the playoff final.
It had already been confirmed that Ireland would play away to Slovakia, in a venue to be confirmed by next month, on March 26, in the semi-final, but there was a chance they could get a home tie for the final, should they progress. But a draw at UEFA HQ in Switzerland today handed the winners of the Bosnia-Northern Ireland tie home advantage for the playoff final, so it's Belfast or Zenica for Mick McCarthy's side if they do beat Slovakia.
