What channel is Republic of Ireland v Bulgaria Nations League play-off on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Republic of Ireland v Bulgaria in the Nations League, including TV channel, live stream coverage and kick-off time.
It's advantage Republic of Ireland ahead of their Nations League play-off second leg against Bulgaria at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.
Heimir Hallgrímsson's side boosted their hopes of staying in the second tier of the competition by coming from behind to win 2-1 in Plovdiv on Thursday evening.
Marin Petkov gave the hosts the lead inside six minutes but headers from Finn Azaz and Matt Doherty ensured the Irish took a one-goal advantage back to Dublin.
It was a comfortable, if not particularly pretty, victory for Republic of Ireland, and a much-needed one for Hallgrímsson after an underwhelming start to his tenure.
The Icelandic coach has admitted there is more to come from his team, and victory in Dublin would be more significant than just confirming Nations League survival – it would be the first time they'd won twice in an international break since October 2021 and would put wind in their sails ahead of the start of World Cup qualifying later this year.
Bulgaria have never won away against Sunday's hosts, while they will have bad memories of their last trip to the Emerald Isle as they were thrashed 5-0 by Northern Ireland in Belfast back in October.
