Northern Ireland end their World Cup group campaign with a home game against Luxembourg. The Irish side will finish third in this group regardless of how this match progresses but they could still reach the finals. Our match prediction will explain why.
Friday saw Northern Ireland lose 1-0 in Slovakia. That has left them in third and six points behind second spot. However, they will be in the play-offs because of their Nations League record. They finished top of their group in League C and that also included Luxembourg who they beat at home.
Northern Ireland therefore still have a chance of reaching their first World Cup Finals since 1986. They will be fully expecting to end the group with their third win. One of those victories came in the reverse fixture against Luxembourg, winning 3-1.
Luxembourg are yet to earn a point in this group. All five games have been lost with just one goal scored. On Friday evening they were beaten 2-0 by Germany who top the group on goal difference from Slovakia.
Luxembourg have only scored once in their last seven internationals. They have failed to score in their last two visits to Belfast.
We tip Northern Ireland to win to nil.
