Northern Ireland take on Russia in a FIFA World Cup 2014 qualifying match delayed by almost five months.
The game was originally supposed to take place on March 22nd, before being delayed due to snowy conditions, and due to a lack of undersoil heating at Windsor Park, conditions did not improve and it was unable to be played the following evening either.
The fixture now goes ahead on a more temperate August evening, and Russia are strong favourites, with far more to play for than Northern Ireland.
The visitors are fighting for the automatic qualification spot in Group F with Portugal, and being only two points behind the Iberians with two games in hand, Russia are in a strong position.
They beat Northern Ireland 2-0 in the reverse fixture at the Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow, and with players of the calibre of Igor Denisov, Alan Dzagoev and Aleksandr Kerzhakov they are strongly tipped to gain three points again in Belfast.
