The struggle set to ensure between Sweden and Denmark means at least one Scandinavian will be exiting the play-offs, but Paris Saint-Germain superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn't imagine it will be his side.

After failing to make the 2014 World Cup following a play-off defeat to Portugal in November 2013, Sweden captain Ibrahimovic told Goal.com's Alec Fenn it's "unthinkable" that history will repeat itself:

"

I don't want to miss the European Championship, it's unlikely and unthinkable for me to see this tournament ongoing without me. We didn't go in the classical way, so we will find out another one to go. Whoever will be our opponent in the playoff, it will be tough. In this kind of games, each team give its 200%. It's an all-in. But I'm sure we will qualify.

"

Martin O'Neill's side will be without vice-captain John O'Shea and Jonathan Walters for the first leg against the Bosnians after the former received a red card vs. Poland last Sunday, while the latter was handed his third yellow card.

Meanwhile, Ukraine will be without suspended pair Oleksandr Kucher and Taras Stepanenko for the first leg of their meeting with Slovenia, while Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder Muhamed Besic will miss the first leg against O'Neill's men.
