Prediction for the match between Northern Ireland vs Kazakhstan, which will take place on June 19. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options!

Four teams in Group H have six points apiece after three rounds. At the bottom of the standings, San Marino is a regular at the bottom with zero points. Northern Ireland, victorious in only one game out of three and thus with only three points, is between the outsider and the leaders. After their away win over San Marino (2:0), Michael O'Neill's team was equally scoreless: 0:1 at home to Finland and away to Denmark. Not the favorite in the fight for the top-2 qualifying group, the team complicates their life from the beginning of the tournamenе. They can come very close to losing their hopes of qualifying for the Euro by the fourth round's results.

In contrast to Ireland, Kazakhstan has shown they can at least impose a fight for the final part of the championship. Moreover, in the first round, Magomed Adiyev's team lost at home to Slovenia (1:2), but a few days later has, done the impossible, scoring twice after 86 minutes in the gate last Euro semifinalist team Denmark and eventually winning 3:2.

Without any exaggeration, this comeback could play a key role in the final distribution of places and become almost a turning point in the development of all Kazakhstani soccer. The country has never participated in major tournaments, always in FIFA's second hundred. Such a striking success in a match against one of the strongest teams is a broad step towards gaining confidence in their abilities, which often makes up for even a significant lack of skill.

Afterward, Kazakhstan defeated San Marino 3:0 on the road on June 16.

Kazakhstan seemed unfairly underestimated in the coming game. Under Magomed Aliyev, the team began to play more offensively and won the group Division C of the Nations League. Now they have won two of three matches qualifying for the European Championship. In contrast, in recent years, Northern Ireland no longer looks so promising that they are about to make noise across Europe. In the same draw in the Division C group, the team earned only five points and almost made it to Division D.

In the UEL qualifiers against Finland and Denmark, despite the 0:1 draws, the Irish have also yet to show how they will qualify for such a serious tournament. We bet on the underestimated Kazakhs and expect a productive match.
