Team News
Daniel Ballard and Jamie McDonnell remain sidelined for Northern Ireland and Arsenal youngster Ceadach O’Neill has been withdrawn from the squad injured. Luton attacker Jamie Donley is likely to lead the attack again, with Isaac Price a key figure behind the 21-year-old.
Attacking duo Oleksandr Zubkov and Matviy Ponomarenko have both withdrawn from the Ukraine squad, with veteran striker Roman Yaremchuk expected to spearhead a 4-2-3-1 setup in search of his 20th international goal.
Need to know
Northern Ireland were convincing 3-0 winners when these sides met in October, limiting Ukraine to just two shots on target after racing to an early lead.
Ukraine have scored just one goal in their five meetings with Northern Ireland since the turn of the millennium.
Prediction
Northern Ireland have a one-point buffer at the top of their UEFA Nations League group and they look good value to at least maintain that when they host an out-of-form Ukraine side.
Saturday’s visitors were thrashed by Northern Ireland last month and followed that with a 2-1 defeat to Hungary, leaving them with just two goals and four points from their four Nations League ties.
The Green and White Army have kept four successive clean sheets this campaign and have not conceded a goal on Northern Irish soil since a 1-0 loss to Germany over a year ago, so back them to win to nil yet again.
Isaac Price may be the man to make the difference, too. The West Brom man scored Northern Ireland’s second goal in that 3-0 win last month and has found the net in five of his last eight appearances for club and country.
