• Northern Ireland remain unbeaten in their opening four Nations League matches (W2, D2), leaving Michael O’Neill’s side top of Group B2 with eight points. The hosts sit one point clear of Hungary and have now avoided defeat in eight consecutive Nations League fixtures (W4, D4).
• Defensive performances have been outstanding, with Northern Ireland keeping four consecutive clean sheets and conceding no goals in the competition. However, both home fixtures have ended goalless, with O’Neill’s side still searching for their first Nations League goal at Windsor Park this season.
• Northern Ireland have won two of their last three meetings with Ukraine, including October’s impressive 3-0 victory in Trnava. The hosts will be hoping to repeat that performance on Saturday, with William Hill offering 29/20 for another victory.

• Ukraine have collected four points from their opening four Nations League matches (W1, D1, L2), leaving Andrea Maldera’s side third in Group B2. However, consecutive defeats against Northern Ireland and Hungary have left the visitors four points behind Saturday’s opponents.
• Goals have proved difficult to come by for Ukraine, who have scored just twice in four group fixtures, failing to find the net against both Georgia and Northern Ireland. Furthermore, only one of their four matches has seen both teams score.
• Away performances offer some encouragement, with Ukraine unbeaten on their Nations League travels this season (W1, D1), keeping clean sheets against Hungary and Georgia. The visitors have collected all four of their points on the road, with another away victory available at 2/1 with William Hill.
