Things look less rosy for Heimir Hallgrimsson's Republic of Ireland, who have picked up just a point from two qualifiers. Adam Idah's injury-time equalizer scraped a point on matchday as the Boys in Green fought back from 2-0 down against Hungary, but a 2-1 defeat by Armenia last time out proved a chastening loss and leaves the Irish desperately needing to win in Lisbon to keep their slim qualification hopes alive. Nevertheless, Hallgrimsson is used to inspiring underdogs and was the mastermind behind his native Iceland's surge to the Euro 2016 quarterfinals, memorably knocking out England en route.
