Northern Ireland vs Italy Prediction & Tips
If Jorginho hadn’t missed two penalties against Switzerland, one in the first leg and one in the second leg, we would be here to tell you another story. But the mistakes of the Italy-Brazilian cost the Azzurri a qualification for the 2022 World Cup which should have already come a long time ago. The last result of the Azzurri was a 1-1 in Rome against Switzerland, which are tied for points in the standings and which will be played with Italy for qualification on the last day. Roberto Mancini’s selection will play for the ticket for Qatar at Windosr Park in Belfast, a Northern Ireland field already eliminated from the World Cup race and beaten by the Azzurri in the first match of the group last 25 March, 2-0. Northern Ireland’s player Ian Baraclough ended their two-game losing streak by winning 1-0 at home to Lithuania in their last game.
Italy boasts 6 wins and 1 draw in the last 7 clashes with Northern Ireland.
Italy have never conceded goals in their last 6 games against Northern Ireland.
In 5 of their last 6 home games Northern Ireland has remained unbeaten.
Northern Ireland have not conceded a goal at home in these World Cup qualifiers: 0-0 against Switzerland and Bulgaria and 1-0 against Lithuania.
Winning in Belfast will perhaps be more difficult than expected. If Italy does not want to get scared, it is better that they unlock it immediately and that they do not settle down in the event of an advantage because the goal difference in the end could play tricks. Let’s try the winning Italy card already after the first 45 minutes.
