N Ireland Preview – Can N Ireland press on at home?
Northern Ireland will be looking to build upon their useful point on the road at Romania courtesy of a 1-1 draw in Bucharest, when they entertain Group 1 basement dwellers, Norway, at Windsor Park as the hosts have made an encouraging start to their Nations League campaign.
However, Northern Ireland’s recent results haven’t exactly set the world alight as the hosts have managed to pick up just one win from their previous six matches overall in all competitions which came in the shape of a 3-2 win away at the Czech Republic in a friendly, but losses to Germany (home and away in 2-0 and 6-1 defeats) and Netherlands suggest this could be a tough evening for the Irish.
Monday’s hosts have won three of their last five matches at home overall but these were against the relative minnows on the European stage with wins against Estonia, Belarus and Luxembourg, while losing two of the previous three encounters with Monday’s opponents, Norway.
Norway Preview – Can Norway bounce back at Windsor Park?
The two favourites of Group 1 went head-to-head in the opening match of the group fixtures with Norway coming off second-best at home to Austria in a 2-1 defeat but the Norwegians travel to Belfast for this upcoming clash against Northern Ireland having won two of the previous three encounters against the Irish.
That recent defeat to Austria also ended Norway’s promising unbeaten run of nine matches in all competitions which included solid points in draws with Sweden and Spain during the European qualifying campaign which helped Norway to a semi-final play-off with Serbia in October.
Back to the Nations League, and Norway have been a hard team to beat on their travels as they’ve lost just twice in their previous 10 matches on the road and they could make life very difficult for Northern Ireland on Monday night.
