In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for Northern Ireland vs Luxembourg

The first game week of the new UEFA Nations League takes place this week and Northern Ireland find themselves in League C Group 3 alongside Luxembourg, Belarus and Bulgaria. This group looks surprisingly well balanced, as Bulgaria are probably the favourites, but they are prone to a lacklustre performance or two as they drew against Gibraltar in their last Nations League campaign.

Northern Ireland kick off the campaign against Luxembourg at home. The home side will be without Jonny Evans after his retirement from international football and so their captaincy remains an open position. The squad that has been called up has a good mixture of experience and youth. Northern Ireland’s strong point is definitely their defence as they have the likes of Paddy McNair, Jamal Lewis, Conor Bradley and Trai Hume at their disposal.

Luxembourg have recently begun to perform well, reaching the playoffs of Euro 2024 qualifying after finishing third in their qualifying group. We are certainly in the best period in their history, but whether or not they can continue that remains to be seen. The squad includes players playing domestically in the USA, China and Bulgaria, and is mostly made up of experienced internationals. Seven of their squad have made over 60 appearances compared to just two for Northern Ireland.

With the backing of the home crowd and the domestic experience of the Northern Ireland players, they should really be winning this game. It will probably be low scoring, but if they avoid making mistakes, the hosts will get the better of Luxembourg.
