Despite being heavy underdogs, Northern Ireland have looked defensively solid recently, beating Denmark and Scotland in their last three games, with a 1-1 draw in Romania in between.
They are likely to play with a full XI on Saturday to provide Luis de la Fuente’s men with a proper test. As such, captain Jonny Evans is expected to be part of the visitors’ central defensive trio, while Josh Maggenis should lead the attack. However, Bolton Wanderers striker Dion Charles has withdrawn with a knee injury.
Northern Ireland Predicted XI (5-4-1, right to left): Peacock-Farrell (GK) – Hume, Ballard, Evans, Toal, Spencer – Bradley, Evans, Thompson, Taylor – Maggenis.
