In the last 7 home matches Northern Ireland has won 3, tied 1 and lost 3. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 2.

Northern Ireland heads into this game with a victory, in penalties, against Bosnia Herzegovina, advancing to the final of qualifying for EURO 2020. Note that the North Irish lost the last game in the League of Nations B against Norway by 1-5. In this home game, coach Ian Baraclough must prioritize defensive organization and only go out to the counterattack: Niall McGinn is a very fast and competent player in the defensive-offensive transition. In addition, it is important to highlight the importance of George Saville in the scheme of the home team: the Middlesbrough midfielder is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. There are no heavy absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael McGovern, Connor McLaughlin, Craig Cathcart, Stuart Dallas, Steven Davis, Jamal Lewis, Gavin Whyte, Kyle Lafferty.
Coach: I. Baraclough.
