Northern Ireland begin life in League C Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League with a home
fixture against Greece on Thursday at Windsor Park.

Ian Baraclough hasn't always appeared like the right fit for Northern Ireland, with the former
Under-21s coach failing to win any of his first 11 matches in command.

However, the Green and White army fared much better in the second half of his 22-game term,
with five wins and significant draws against Switzerland and Italy.

In terms of Greece, the appointment of the well-traveled Gus Poyet as their new leader marks
the beginning of a new era.

The major flaw is that none of this group has scored more than five goals for their country, which
is unsurprising given that Greece hasn't scored more than two goals in a game since 2017.

Greece vs Northern Ireland: Prediction

With both countries on the rise, this should be a difficult match. Northern Ireland will start as the
slight favorites, but we anticipate the visitors to score in the last third at some point, earning a
draw that will be more than enough for their fans.

Prediction: Greece 1 - 1 Northern Ireland
