This Monday’s UEFA Nations League game sees Northern Ireland make the trip to face Luxembourg at the Stade de Luxembourg.
These sides are the polar opposites of each other. Northern Ireland sit in first place in the group and Luxembourg are sat dead last with no wins under their belt.
Young Northen Ireland captain and Liverpool right back Connor Bradley has been superb when donning his country’s jersey and he could be the man to make the difference in this match with another great performance.
Predicted Line-Up: Tiago Pereira Cardoso; Mica Pinto, Dirk Carlson, Seid Korac, Laurent Jans (c); Tomás Moreira, Christopher Martins; Florian Bohnert, Mathias Olesen, Danel Sinani; Gerson Rodrigues
Luxembourg have massively struggled in their last five UEFA Nations League C games. They have yet to pick up a win so far, so them sitting in last place in the group isn’t a shock. Three losses and two draws is their official record in Group 3. They head into this one with a loss in their most recent game, a 0-1 defeat to Bulgaria on Friday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Northern Ireland and were beaten 2-0 on away soil. They are going through a rough patch at the moment and unfortunately for them, it doesn’t look like Luxembourg have much of a chance heading into this one.
Predicted Line-Up: Pierce Charles; Ciaron Brown, Daniel Ballard, Trai Hume; Brodie Spencer, Shea Charles, Ali McCann, Connor Bradley; Isaac Price; Paul Smyth, Dion Charles
Northern Ireland have done really well in their last five UEFA Nations League C games. Three wins, one loss and one draw has resulted in them picking up 10 points, two points clear of second place. They head into this one with a win in their most recent game, a 2-0 result away at home against Belarus on Friday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Luxembourg. When these two sides met last time out Northern Ireland dominated all over the pitch and this time on Monday, they have a great chance to try and replicate that performance.
There have been six matches where these two teams have faced each other throughout history.
Northern Ireland come into this match holding an advantage over Luxembourg as they have come out victors on four occasions, three more times than Luxembourg’s one win in this fixture. A draw has happened once out of the six games, leaving Northern Ireland with a confident 66.7 % win percentage.
Northern Ireland are clear of Luxembourg in the standings but they still have a chance of finding the back of the net as Northern Ireland can be shaky in defence sometimes.
