Northern Ireland topped the group standings, and considering their last match, it seems well deserved. In that game, the team exploded and beat Bulgaria 5-0 on their own turf. This was their fourth consecutive victory without conceding a goal at home for Northern Ireland. The team has only conceded one goal in their four group matches, which led to their only loss - 1-0 against Bulgaria.
Belarus is still undefeated in the group, but three of their four matches ended in a draw. All four matches had under 2.5 goals, and their only victory came as an away win against Luxembourg with a score of 1-0. Eight out of the last ten matches for Belarus had under 2.5 goals, and in their last eight matches, they only managed to score twice - both times against Luxembourg.
Prediction: Northern Ireland to win and under 3.5 goals, under 2.5 goalsNorthern Ireland shows improvement, especially at home. Belarus may suffer their first loss in the group here. Scoring goals doesn't come easy for the visitors, while Northern Ireland looks quite stable at home recently. Even if they don't win by 5-0 again, it is definitely more likely for them to secure the victory against Belarus.
