Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has made three changes to his side as he seeks to maintain their impressive start 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaign.
The Green and White Army are unbeaten in Group B2 having accumulated seven points from their three fixtures to date, and will improve that record yet further with a third win in four on home soil.
A resounding 3-0 success over Ukraine last time out leaves Ireland positioned nicely at the summit of the standings -- one they will cement if they can follow-up their 1-0 win Georgia with another three point haul in Belfast.
O'Neill has resisted temptation to keep faith wit the same line-up that produced such an impressive performance against Ukraine last week, opting to hand recalls to Stoke City pair Ethan Galbraith and Justin Devenny as well as Patrick Kelly.
Brodie Spencer, Terry Devlin and Kieran Morrison are forced to settle for a spots amongst the substitutes as the hosts switch formation from wing-backs to 4-3-3.
