The match

Greece have aleady won promotion and host Northern Ireland in their final Nations League fixture. The pressure is on the visitors who are hoping to avoid going into the relegation play outs. They are third in the group and level on points with Cyprus who are bottom. Both of the games between those two countries ended in a draw, so it'll go down to goal difference if they end up level on points. That's in the favour of the Irish at present as they are on -1 and Cyprus on -4. Therefore, even if Northern Ireland lose this match, they could avoid the play-outs if Cyprus also lose and it's not a heavy loss to Greece. Northern Ireland won their first match in this group on Saturday when beating Kosovo 2-1. They had to come from behind to do so with the winning goal coming in the 93rd minute. The win ended a run of five matches without a victory. Incredibly, it was their first ever win in the Nations League at the 15th time of asking. Seven away games in the Nations League have produced just two draws.

The Greeks will be back in League B in the next tournament. They had won their first four group matches (including a 1-0 win in Northern Ireland) but then surprisingly lost 1-0 in Cyprus on Saturday. With Kosovo losing, the Greeks come into this final match six points clear at the top. The goal conceded at the weekend was the first that has been put past them in this group. Home form has seen only Spain beat them in their last 14 matches. It will be an idea to check the line-up they name for this game. The group has been won, so a few team changes are likely. Back them to win this game but look at the line-up before deciding just how much to stake.

Key Statistics

  • Greece have one loss in their last 14 home games.
  • Northern Ireland have never won an away match in the Nations League.
  • Greece won the reverse fixture 1-0.

The bet of our experts

Greece have already made sure of their promotion but won't want to end the group with two successive defeats. They have only conceded one goal in this group and beat Northern Ireland 1-0 in the reverse fixture. Northern Ireland finally won a Nations League match at the weekend but could still end up in the relegation play-outs. They will keep an eye on how Cyprus are getting on in Kosovo. Northern Ireland have a poor away record and Greece should be able to get the win, even if making a few changes.
