Hello, and welcome to today’s liveblog.

Only Finland stand between Ireland and first-ever qualification for a major tournament at U21 level.

Jim Crawford’s side will be hoping for a positive result in Tampere ahead of Tuesday’s second leg at Turner’s Cross.

They will be confident after some impressive group-stage results that secured second place and a playoff, notably the 3-1 victory over England, as Waterford’s Tommy Lonergan starred with two goals.

Kick-off for today’s match is at 4.15pm Irish time.
