Northern Ireland v Kazakhstan predictions
Kazakhstan have never previously qualified for a major tournament but they are making a decent fist of attempting to book their ticket to Euro 2024 and they could cause Northern Ireland problems at Windsor Park.
After a 2-1 defeat to Slovenia in their Group H opener in March, Kazakhstan stunned Denmark with a 3-2 comeback success three days later in Astana.
That shock win was followed by a routine 3-0 defeat of San Marino on Friday and Kazakhstan are in the mix for a top-two group finish and with it safe passage to next year's finals in Germany.
Northern Ireland, meanwhile, followed their win over San Marino with 1-0 defeats to Finland and Denmark and they can't afford too many more mishaps.
They have done little recently to suggest they can hurt Kazakhstan, though, and the draw looks the best bet at Windsor Park, where only two of Northern Ireland's last nine fixtures have featured more than two goals.
Key stat
Northern Ireland have won just one of their last six matches at Windsor Park.
Probable teams
Northern Ireland (3-5-2): Peacock-Farrell; Cathcart, J Evans, Brown; Bradley, McNair, S Charles, Saville, Hume; D Charles, Lavery.
Kazakhstan (3-5-2): Shatskiy, Bystrov, Alip, Marochkin; Orazov, Beysebekov, Kuat, Tagybergen, Vorogovskiy; Aymbetov, Samorodov.
