Both Cyprus and Northern Ireland had losing starts in the UEFA Nations League. They will face off on Match Day 2, Cyprus hosting this League C, Group 2 clash. The hosts are coming from a 2-0 loss at home to Kosovo, that being their third loss in five matches and also the third time they failed to score a goal in a game. They have two clean sheets in their last three matches but the fact will remain, they haven’t done well in defence, having conceded 10 times in the last five games. The hosts here have managed more than a goal in one of their last five matches and each of their last three matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Going into this game, Cyprus carry a three-match unbeaten run in meetings with Cyprus; they have kept clean sheets in all the three.

Northern Ireland are coming from a 1-0 loss at home to Greece. This was their second straight defeat and third time in four matches that they’ve failed to score. Northern Ireland do not carry to this game a very encouraging scoring run; in their last five matches, they’ve scored more than a goal in just one game. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they haven’t conceded more than a goal in their last five games. In the last five matches, Northern Ireland have managed two clean sheets. In three Nations League seasons, Northern Ireland are still searching for their first win in the competition. They’ve lost nine of their 11 Nations League matches.
