Both Wales and Northern Ireland will be looking to continue their fairy tale run of the Euro 2016 competition. Join The Roar from 2am AEST for live scores of this Round of 16 fixture.
After topping Group B in spectacular fashion, Wales will have most of the momentum going into the knockout phases of the competition.
Wales needed nothing less than a win in the last group game to progress in the tournament, and delivered against Russia with a spectacular 3-nil win.
Aaron Ramsey, Neil Taylor and Gareth Bale all found the net in a game where every Welshman on the pitch was on top form.
Now, after being underdogs in all three of their group games, the new dark horses of the competition will be heading into a game where they expected to win.
Northern Ireland scraped through Group C with just three points, however their ability to hold sides from scoring has been the story of their campaign.
Despite going down to Poland and Germany, Northern Ireland managed to only let in the one goal, and absorb the pressure.
Their biggest highlight to date came via a shock 2-nil win over Ukraine, which was enough to get them the points and goal difference to make it over the line.
Northern Ireland have proven they can hold sides out, however the likes of Bale and Ramsey will give them all they can handle and more, and the a tight Welsh defence should be able to keep out the Northern Irish strikers.
Prediction
Wales 2 – 0 Northern Ireland
