Bet on Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland

Can O’Neill’s Boys Start with Maximum Points?

Luxembourg are one of the minnows of international football, but they head into this one having lost just two of their past five. After holding Northern Ireland to a draw in the UEFA Nations League last November, the Red Lions picked up a stunning friendly victory over Sweden in their next one.

With Germany and Slovakia also in the group, finishing in the top two will be an arduous task for Jeff Strasser’s side. However, the Luxembourgers have improved lately, and they could cause one or two problems along the way.

Northern Ireland have been in patchy form. After last November’s home win against Belarus in the Nations League, Norn Iron went winless in four, drawing two and losing two. However, they edged past Iceland in a friendly in June, with Isaac Price scoring the only goal.

Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany are the overwhelming favourites to win the group, though second place is up for grabs. Northern Ireland are expected to challenge Slovakia for the runners-up berth, but can O’Neill’s side start with maximum points in game one?

Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland Betting Odds

Luxembourg are the underdogs in this one, although 3.90 is a fair price for the hosts. They managed to hold Thursday’s opponents to a draw last November, but can they stun the British nation in this one?

Northern Ireland are desperate to avoid an upset at the Stade de Luxembourg. The visitors are priced at 2.24 to leave with all three points, while the draw is available at 2.86.

Luxembourg Win – 3.90

Draw – 2.86

Northern Ireland Win – 2.24

Recent Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland Head-to-Head Meetings

The pair met twice in the Nations League last year, with Northern Ireland collecting four points from a possible six. At Windsor Park a year ago, Paddy McNair and Dan Ballard scored in a 2-0 win for the home team.

Luxembourg managed to snatch a point from November’s meeting at the Stade de Luxembourg. Goals from Price and Conor Bradley gave the Northern Irish a two-goal lead. However, efforts from Seid Korac and Gerson Rodrigues earned the hosts an unlikely draw.

Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland Betting Tips & Predictions

Luxembourg stunned Northern Ireland by coming from two goals down to draw in the last meeting, but Northern Ireland should edge this World Cup qualifier.

Our money is going on the away win and both teams to score at 6.00. We also fancy Northern Ireland to open the scoring in the capital (1.86).
