If you include a friendly against Ireland in March, they drew or lost by one goal in eight of their last ten matches, before a 5-0 away defeat to Croatia and a 0-2 home loss against Wales. They've played creditably against many of the stronger teams in their group, so this will feel like a big relief for them
