Northern Ireland plays host to Greece in their opening UEFA Nations League fixture in League C, Group 2. It has been a shky recent past for the two sides. Northern Ireland, the home team, goes into this match with two losses, a draw and two wins in the last five matches. Twice in those five matches, they’ve failed to score and twice, their matches have ended in over 2.5 goals. Seven of their last 10 games have produced under 2.5 goals. It hasn’t been an easy ride at home though, with their last five matches there seeing them score just one goal, though they have four clean sheets and conceded one goal too in those five matches. Northern Ireland have one win in 12 home matches.

Greece are also heading into this game on a patchy run; they have one win in their last five matches, and they’ve failed to score in three of the five games. Each of these five matches has produced under 2.5 goals and they have just one clean sheet in that run. Greece have scored two goals in their last five matches and their only clean sheet came in a 1-0 win away to Romania in a friendly game in March. Away from home, Greece havewon twice in the last five, kept two clean sheets in the process but only managed to score more than a goal in one of their last five away games. They last faced Northern Ireland in 2015, and for the second straight game against this opponent, they lost. The two met in a Euro 2016 qualifier and Northern Ireland registered home and away wins.
