Northern Ireland vs Italy 15.11.2021

Northern Ireland have no hope of qualifying for the World Cup from this group as they cannot catch up with the top two-Italy and Switzerland.

For Italy, this is a must-win as they want to qualify directly for the World Cup as the group winners ahead of Switzerland going into the last game.

Italy have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches against Northern Ireland each victory came with a margin of at least 2 goals. Hence, we foresee a similar Italy win here.
