Northern Ireland head into their second clash of a muted international break against Hungary this evening.

Ian Baraclough’s men dispatched Luxembourg last week but had to rely on two late strikes, including one from veteran Steven Davis, to seal the deal at 3-1.

They haven’t qualified for Qatar 2022 and don’t begin their Nations League journey until June so this is an experimental break to say the least.

Hungary earned plenty of rave reviews for their participation in the Group of Death at Euro 2020 last year.

They drew with France and Germany to shake up Group F and boast a range of talented, albeit fairly obscure, stars aiming to impress on the big stage.

Our prediction: Northern Ireland v Hungary

With neither side going to Qatar 2022, it’s hard to see what the motivation is for either side beyond pride in this one.

Baraclough must rebuild his team’s confidence ahead of the Nations League and beyond, as well as find a solution to weaning off the ever-reliable, ever-ageing Davis in midfield.

Our prediction: Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary (6/1 at Bet365)
