Ryan Giggs will be hoping Wales can draw on their recent history when they meet Slovakia in their opening European Championship qualifier in Cardiff.
The two sides met at Euro 2016 when goals from Gareth Bale and Hal Robson-Kanu secured a 2-1 win in Bordeaux, a result which kick-started The Dragons' run to the semi-finals.
Both have endured similarly disappointing fortunes since that tournament, neither qualifying for the World Cup or reaching the Nations League playoffs. Indeed, Slovakia were relegated to League C after finishing bottom of their group.

Therefore, the game represents a genuine chance to ignite a new era and with Croatia for company in Group E, take a major step towards the finals next summer.
