Northern Ireland take on the visitors Cyprus in the round 4 match in League C of Nations League. The match will be played on Sunday, June 12th at Windsor Park (Belfast).
Northern Ireland gradually lost quite good positions. The "Green-White Army" has never been quoted particularly highly - in its entire long history, it has shown rather mediocre results with rare exceptions. Such was the surge in the last decade, the peak of which was not just access to the Euro, but also a passage there to the 1/8 finals. Then there was another 1 playoff, and a gradual slide, which intensified after the departure of the mentor, O'Neal. His successor, Baraklow, "noted" only by being relegated from Division B of the League of Nations. At a new level, his wards started with a home defeat of Greece. But in Cyprus a week ago we held out for a draw. On June 9th there was a trip to Kosovo. There, the sides surprised with unexpectedly bright football, but still the hosts won 3-2.

Cyprus could now play in Division D at all. The "Islanders" are not devoid of ambitions and in each cycle they declare their intention this time to finally compete seriously for entering the "big" tournament. And in the end, at best, there were regular very mediocre results. And in the last League of Nations, the Cypriots completely failed in the group, and had to defend their right to maintain their "registration" in Division C through the playoffs with Estonia. An they succeeded: 0-0 away, 2-0 at home. But in the summer, the results at the start of the new League of Nations are not impressive. First in Cyprus won confidently, 2-0, Kosovo. Last Sunday, it turned out to draw a home goalless draw just with the “Northirish”. Finally, on Wednesday there was a voyage to Greece, who "brotherly", scored 3 unanswered goals.
Goalless draw in the 2nd round was already the third such result in head-to-head meetings in a row. Moreover, in all 7 matches played, at least 1 team have not score. Of course, both teams will strive to win - I want to finally please the fans. But, in any case, we do not expect many goals, choosing "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
