Michael O'Neill ( left ) believes his side are one win away from turning their Euro 2016 dream into a reality . Kyle Lafferty of Northern Ireland blows a kiss to the home support after their Euro 2016 qualifying win . Anghel Iordanescu 's side come to Windsor Park on June 13 and O'Neill believes success then would go a long way to ensuring a first major tournament in 30 years . 'The message is simple . We have given ourselves a fantastic chance , and we have to make sure we take our chance again in June , ' he said , after Kyle Lafferty 's brilliant brace in Belfast . 'The Romania game becomes massive now . If you can win that game , then it would be hard to think we wo n't get to the Euros . It takes on extra significance . Do we feel 18 points will be enough ? Possibly . 'If we can get to 15 points with four games to go , that has to be our target at this moment in time . We will have the chance to go top of the group against Romania . ' The game comes at an awkward time , with the English and Scottish seasons having broken up for the summer , but O'Neill hopes that does not have a major impact . Lafferty scores with a header to make the score 2-0 during their win over Finland in Group F. Northern Ireland are currently second in Group F , behind Romania , and have 12 points from five games . He is relying on dedication from his players and two friendlies - one against Qatar on May 31 and another against Wales - to get his side in shape . The Wales game has yet to be confirmed by the two associations , but O'Neill is already treating it as a done deal . We have two good warm-up games before that so preparation will be excellent , ' he said . 'Our preparation in June will be vital , and the warm-up games against Qatar and Wales will be crucial . But players finish their seasons in May , and there is an onus on certain players to maintain their own fitness . ' If fit Aaron Hughes is sure to become his country 's most capped outfield player in that run of fixtures , with his current tally of 95 leaving him level with David Healy . He had to make do with bench duty against Finland , with O'Neill making the tough choice to pair Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley in the middle while favouring Conor McLaughlin at right-back . O'Neill believes a win on June 13 would go a long way to ensuring a first major tournament in 30 years . They are second in Group F , four points clear of Hungary and just a point shy of table-topping Romania . 'Leaving out Aaron was maybe the most difficult decision I have had to make in my three years , in terms of team selection , ' the manager confessed . 'Everyone knows what Aaron Hughes is about and what his qualities are as a player and individual . I sat with Aaron a few nights ago and talked about his situation at Brighton . 'He has n't played much club football in recent tines , and he fully understood where I was coming from . And Aaron being Aaron , he took it in his professional style . He is still a huge part of this squad , but now we have competition for places which is good . 'Jonny ( Evans ) showed what a top class player he is , and he showed it at Hampden against Scotland the other night . So it is good . 'But it is only a matter of time before Aaron gets his 96th cap and goes on to win 100 . '
