Ukraine are set to take on Northern Ireland in their next UEFA Nations League outing, a Group B2 encounter. The two nations are tied on four points atop the pool that has seen just two goals scored in the opening two rounds. Each of these sides has at least three clean sheets in their latest five outings, and our prediction backs another low-scoring affair.
Ukraine will once again not enjoy home advantage, as they host this encounter in Slovakia. They kept their fourth clean sheet in five matches in their last outing as they drew with Georgia.
Here they go hunting for their second straight win against Northern Ireland, having triumphed in a 2021 friendly.
Northern Ireland recorded their third clean sheet in four matches in their last outing. They played out a 0-0 draw with Hungary, falling just short of their 1-0 win over Georgia in matchday one action.
That marked a fourth game out of 10 without scoring, a stat they will surely want to improve on. Wins have also been spread out for Northern Ireland, who come here on just two victories in their last six outings.
Such low returns have also been occasioned by a poor scoring run, as NI haven’t scored more than a goal in nine straight outings.

Our Ukraine vs Northern Ireland Prediction
Ukraine have a strong record in the history of this fixture. However, as they are forced to play home matches away from home, Northern Ireland will see that as an advantage coming into this encounter.
Northern Ireland’s only win in this fixture dates back to 2016 in a European Championship match that ended in under 2.5 goals. Only one of these teams’ six meetings actually produced more than two goals, so a low-scoring bet could pass here. Our prediction for Ukraine v Northern Ireland is for under 2.5 goals.
