Northern Ireland v Belarus Preview
Northern Ireland’s Form
Northern Ireland are currently managed by their most successful manager Michael O’Neill who initially managed the country for the best part of 9 years from 2011-20 finishing it with a win-rate of 36.11% during which he guided them to not just the European Championship for the first time but also to the Round of 16 stage. This tenure is going strongly too with Northern Ireland top of their Nations League Group with 7 points from 4 games.
During the last International Window, they first travelled to Hungary (a neutral venue) to play out a 0-0 draw away to Belarus. However, it was the second game where things really clicked for the Northern Irish when they beat Bulgaria 5-0 at Windsor Park following an Issac Price hatrick, Miltov own goal and a late Magennis goal.
Northern Ireland can secure promotion to Nations League Group B with a win here.

Belarus’s Form
Belarus are currently managed by Spaniard Carlos Ferrer (49) who has already had a coaching career spanning two decades and has held several interesting positions including Kazakhstan U17, Qatar SC and Rwanda in recent years. He’s started his tenure solidly too with Belarus unbeaten from their four Nations League games with one win and three draws.
In the last International Window Belarus played out a 0-0 draw against Northern Ireland and a 1-1 draw against Luxembourg despite leading until Rodrigues 78th minute equaliser with both home games played at a neutral venue in Hungary due to the ongoing conflict and restrictions.
A win for Belarus would put them in the driving seat to secure promotion to League B.

Key Players To Watch
Issac Price - Northern Ireland
The Standard Liege midfielder (21) has represented Northern Ireland at U16, and U17. U19, U21 and now Senior Level. This was despite being eligible for Germany, the Republic of Ireland and England.
He was the star of the show in an advanced AM position last time against Bulgaria [scoring a hat trick to make it 5 goals in 16 international appearances. If you fancy him to continue that scoring streak he is 5/1 for first scorer and 2/1 to score anytime.
Valery Gromyko - Belarus
The man who came off the bench for Belarus against Luxembourg in their only Nations League win so far is my key player to watch for this game as I expect him to start. The left-footer is capable of playing out wide AM or even deeper as CM. he plays his club football in Kazakhstan with Kairat and has 6 goals and 3 assists from 23 games this season and could be Belarus’s biggest goal threat.
Northern Ireland v Belarus Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Northern Ireland 2-0 Belarus
Northern Ireland will secure promotion to League B with a victory in this game and will be buoyant following their performance against Bulgaria in their last fixture.
Belarus are no slouches at this level though and have done well to put themselves in contention to win despite having played no home games across the league.
Northern Ireland have a home advantage and I think that’ll tip the game in their favour this time around.
Best Bet: Northern Ireland Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 5/6
