Fri 14th Nov, 19:45 BST, Dnipro Arena, Dnipropetrovs'k

Francesco Calzona welcomes Michael O'Neill to the Dnipro Arena on Friday evening, as their Slovakia and Northern Ireland sides clash in the World Cup Qualifying Europe. Stats drive the predictions below for all the markets, and switching between them will display bespoke analysis, including head-to-head, form and much more besides. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are also provided. Hit the tabs below to see it all.

Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this game will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Slovakia and N Ireland have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in World Cup Qualifying Europe individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.17.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Slovakia are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 49% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.05.
