Northern Ireland v Ukraine : UEFA Nations League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 14th Nov, 19:45 BST, Windsor Park, Belfast

Michael O'Neill and Andrea Maldera clash in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday evening, as Northern Ireland face Ukraine at the Windsor Park. We want you to make a smart bet on this match, so we've sifted through our 20+ year database and dug out the stats that matter the most. Head-to-head and recent form are included, and it all goes into our algorithmic predictions. The best odds are there to ensure you get the best price.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this game will deliver more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. N Ireland and Ukraine have rarely been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in the UEFA Nations League individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.22.
