Windsor Park will host Nations League game between Northern Ireland and Hungary, with Michael O’Neill’s side hoping to build on a 1-0 victory over Georgia in their opener. Paddy McNair’s late goal secured all three points after a disciplined display, and Northern Ireland will be confident of another strong defensive performance on home soil. Daniel Ballard is expected to miss out through injury, which could force a change at the back. The hosts have won 75% of their last four home matches while conceding just 0.25 goals per game.
Hungary, meanwhile, are looking to respond after a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Ukraine despite registering 17 attempts on goal. Marco Rossi is expected to shuffle his pack, with Toth and Barany among those pushing for a starting berth. Hungary have been the more productive attacking side statistically, averaging 1.50 goals and 1.65 xG across their last two away matches, while they have failed to score in just one of their last 10 games overall.
Given Northern Ireland’s outstanding home defensive record, Northern Ireland or Draw bet should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals.
This Nations League match will be played on Monday 28 September 2026 at 19:45.
