Kazakhstan vs Northern Ireland Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10th 2023

Kazakhstan and Northern Ireland go head-to-head at the Astana Arena in Group H of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers on Sunday.

The Norn Iron head into the weekend on a four-game losing streak and will be looking to end this dire run.

Kazakhstan were sent crashing back to earth on Thursday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Finland on Thursday.

Prior to that, Magomed Adiev’s side were on a three-match winning streak, scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets in that time.

With nine points from five matches, Kazakhstan are currently fourth in Group H but could move level with first-placed Finland with all three points this weekend.

Northern Ireland, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot on Thursday as they suffered a 4-2 defeat against Slovenia at the Stozice Stadium.

With that result, Michael O'Neill’s men have now lost their last four games since picking up a 2-0 victory over San Marino in the group opener on March 23.

Northern Ireland are currently bottom but one in Group H, three points above last-placed San Marino, who have lost their five games in the qualifiers.
