Ukraine have made a solid start to their Nations League campaign, backing up their 1–0 win away to Hungary with a goalless draw in Georgia — even if they created nothing of note in that second outing, registering 0 big chances.
Andrea Maldera’s side have now kept three clean sheets in four, and they’re unbeaten in six UNL group games (W3, D3), with each of their last four victories coming alongside a shutout. Punters expecting another disciplined display can back Ukraine to win to nil at 9/5 with William Hill.

Northern Ireland returned to League B with momentum after topping their group last season, and they’ve carried that form straight into this campaign.
Michael O’Neill’s side followed up their dramatic win in Georgia with a 0–0 draw against Hungary at Windsor Park, leaving them top of Group 2 heading into Friday’s clash.
Their recent trends point towards another tight affair. None of Northern Ireland’s last seven competitive matches have seen both teams score, while six of their last seven defeats have been by a single goal. Even so, the visitors are 3/1 with William Hill to extend their unbeaten start.
