Northern Ireland v Luxembourg: How to watch, TV channel, kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

The Nations League returns for another exciting edition this week and Northern Ireland will be hoping for a stronger showing when they start their campaign off at home to Luxembourg.

The Green and White Army avoided relegation to League D by goal difference to Cyprus in the last edition and having also experienced a disappointing European Championship qualifying campaign, a more competitive showing will be the order of the day.

Luxembourg, meanwhile, enjoyed their best ever qualification campaign as they finished third in their Euros group, winning five matches before losing out to Georgia in the play-offs.
