Northern Ireland vs Guinea prediction

Michael O’Neill has decided to leave Blackburn Rovers in order to fully focus on the Northern Irish national team after leading both teams for the last few months, which included The Green and White Army’s defeat to Italy in their UEFA playoff semi-final.

They now face a Guinea side that come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Benin a couple of months ago. That means that the Guineans have won just two of their last 13 official matches.

Guinea do have some impressive players and some talent but Northern Ireland will be expected to win, albeit in a likely low-scoring encounter in Cadiz in Spain.

Northern Ireland vs Guinea tip: Northern Ireland to win to nil
