Ukraine will be looking to return to winning ways following a goalless draw with Georgia, with the hosts playing their Nations League home games at City Arena Trnava in Slovakia. There are no fresh injury worries for the home team, while Yaremchuk, Ocheretko and Sikan could all sneak into the starting XI. Ukraine have won 75% of their last four matches at their adopted home venue, scoring 1.50 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets.
The Green and White Army, meanwhile, head into the match following another goalless draw, this time against Hungary. Centre-back Dan Ballard remains in the recovery room, while Michael O’Neill has no fresh injury concerns to deal with. Northern Ireland have struggled on the road, winning just 20% of their last five away matches and scoring only 0.60 goals per game.
Given Ukraine’s stronger recent form and Northern Ireland’s struggles up front, Home Win seems like the best betting option for this matchup. Additionally, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals markets are worth considering given that neither of the last two H2H meetings produced more than two goals.
This Nations League match will be played on Friday 2 October 2026 at 19:45.
