Betting tips Cyprus vs Northern Ireland
Both teams have started this year's League of Nations competition with defeats. Cyprus lost to Kosovo 0-2 while Northern Ireland was also defeated at home against Greece 0-1. Therefore, the stakes are high because a defeat for one of the teams would mean reducing the chances for first place in the domain of theory. Cyprus did not even have such a result in mind, but Northern Ireland is certainly lurking in the shadows, even though Greece is the first favorite.
Cyprus played only 3 matches in 2022. Victory over Estonia is their only success. Before that, in 2021, they had only one victory for the entire season. This team has scored only 4 goals in the previous 14 matches and we are not optimistic when it comes to their result in this group. Northern Ireland is a much stronger team. They have won 4 of the previous 7 away games. They have some players in good teams like Evans who is a pillar of defense. The defense could be crucial here. Northern Ireland is not so offensively good and again with all that they managed to score 9 goals in the previous 5 away games. Winning for a visiting team with a minimum score is a pick with high probability.
