1.31Tip and bets
The Northern Ireland national team has looked quite decent in recent home matches, traditionally the "green and white" take points on their home field and even the giants of European football often have a hard time in Belfast. It is obvious that the hosts will strive to take the maximum and there is definitely a chance of success - Luxembourg is extremely vulnerable away and has never won in Northern Ireland.
We think that the visitors have no chance. The betting tip is a victory for Northern Ireland . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on total
Northern Ireland score regularly at home and play quite boldly in attack, but due to the very average level of players in the front line, they do not score many. It is obvious that Luxembourg will be focused primarily on defense, the "green-whites" will probably be cautious, there is hardly any point in counting on a goal extravaganza.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.61
