Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day
Over 2.5 goals
Northern Ireland vs Luxembourg
2026 World Cup qualifier, 7.45pm Monday
Northern Ireland’s hopes of finishing second in their World Cup qualifying group were ended by Friday’s 1-0 defeat in Slovakia, but there is still hope for Michael O’Neill’s men.
The Green and White Army have a chance of reaching America via last term’s Nations League efforts, but qualification aside, Northern Ireland look to be on the up.
O’Neill’s young squad is moving in the right direction and Windsor Park is once again a difficult place for visiting sides to go. It’s seven victories in nine Belfast matches for the Green and White Army and this is a side who were comfortable 3-1 winners in Luxembourg in September.
Northern Ireland look set for a dominant success on home turf and backing over 2.5 goals rates the best bet on today’s coupon.
