The World Cup Qualifiers are almost over, with only one game left. In Group A, it is still undecided which team will secure a direct World Cup appearance, as Germany and Slovakia are tied with 12 points each. On the other hand, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg have nothing to gain, considering they are firmly in third and fourth place and will remain there regardless of the outcome of the last game.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for this World Cup Qualifier tie.

Northern Ireland team overview
Northern Ireland tried to secure their first World Cup appearance since 1986 in Mexico. In these Qualifiers, they started the competition well, and it seemed they are in an OK position to secure that second place. Unfortunately, the 1:0 loss against Slovakia in the last game eventually removed them from the second-place battle. Now, they will be entirely without a motive in the upcoming game, and it will be interesting to see how they respond against Luxembourg.
Still, the Green and White Army will have a chance to secure a spot in the World Cup through the Playoffs, having won their UEFA Nations League Group 3.
In the previous game against Slovakia, Daniel Ballard received a red card and will serve his one-game suspension.

Luxembourg team overview
Luxembourg are #97 in the FIFA World Ranking List and one of the teams that have never reached any of the major tournaments. That will hardly change any time soon. Before the World Cup Qualifiers, they finished fourth (last) in Group 3 of the UEFA Nations League C and will face Malta in the Relegation Playout in March.
In these World Cup Qualifiers, Luxembourg were bad, losing all five games with a 1:12 goal difference. However, we cannot really say we were too surprised, considering their trend in the World Cup Qualifiers.
In the previous game against Germany, Florian Bohnert received his second yellow card in the Qualifiers and will be suspended for the upcoming game vs Northern Ireland.

Prediction
Northern Ireland weren't too bad in these Qualifiers, winning six points in five rounds. Also, they are a team that relies heavily on their home pitch. There, they won 2:0 vs Slovakia and lost 1:0 to Germany in a fairly close game. Looking further back, Northern Ireland won seven out of the last nine home games.
Luxembourg lost all five games while losing by two or more goals in four out of those five matches. Additionally, on the road, they lost seven out of the last nine matches, while losing by 2+ goals each time.
In the last five h2h games, Northern Ireland won four times. Considering the trend in previous h2h games and all the above, we expect the hosts to dominate and win by at least two goals.
3 Reasons why Northern Ireland should win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
- Northern Ireland won seven out of the last nine home games
- Luxembourg lost all five WC Qualifier games
- Northern Ireland won four out of the last five h2h games
