Republic of Ireland v Bulgaria live stream, Sky Sports, Wednesday 18 November, 7.45pm GMT
The Republic of Ireland conclude their Nations League campaign with the visit of Bulgaria to Dublin on Wednesday.
Both sides have struggled in a disappointing League B campaign, and they make up the bottom two in a group that also features Wales and Finland.
Their meeting in September ended in a 1-1 draw, but Ireland needed a stoppage time leveller from Shane Duffy to snatch a point at the death.
In Stephen Kenny’s debut as Ireland manager, his side were wasteful in attack as they put just three of their 14 shots on target.
Kenny will be without 20-year-old Brighton striker Aaron Connolly, who was forced to pull out of the squad through injury.
Callum Robinson, who tested positive for Covid-19, is also absent, and Preston striker Sean Maguire has been called in to bolster the attack.
History suggests that the clash with Bulgaria will be tight, as in 12 meetings so far the record is split down the middle with five draws and three wins apiece.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Arena in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Republic of Ireland v Bulgaria live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
There are plenty of options out there, including:
