Northern Ireland - Georgia

Jamie Donley leads the line for Northern Ireland at Windsor Park on 5 October 2026, aiming to solidify his side's advantage in this UEFA Nations League B Group 2 contest. Following a decisive 1-0 victory in the first leg on 25 September 2026, the hosts arrive in high spirits after a dominant 3-0 win against Ukraine. The expected XI features a robust defensive unit anchored by Trai Hume and Ruairi McConville, providing the stability needed to protect their aggregate lead. With Isaac Price and Shea Charles dictating play in midfield, the home side will look to maintain their disciplined momentum.

Georgia face a difficult task as they search for a response after a 1-0 defeat to Hungary. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains their primary threat, though the visitors must improve their attacking output to overcome the deficit. With Giorgi Mamardashvili expected to start in goal, Georgia will rely on a compact structure to stifle the home attack before transitioning through Giorgi Chakvetadze. This matchday 4 encounter presents a significant test for both teams as they battle for control in a tight group.
