Northern Ireland and Cyprus both having one point still now are finishing their tour for this month in the UEFA Nations League as they lock horns at Windsor Park on Sunday.
Both of these nations had unable to win in their last three games in this competition. Settling down with just one point for both these nations, the team losing the tie might be out of contention for a qualification spot into League B.
In their previous outing, northern Ireland conceded two early goals against Kosovo and failed to live up to their expectation. Whereas Cyrpus, on the other hand, remained goalless as they suffered a 3-0 loss against Greece.

NIR vs CYR: Dream 11 Top picks
Paddy McNair
A clinical defender who can surprise the opposition with his stellar passing skills, McNair will be Northern Ireland’s trump card against Cyprus. He has already claimed a brace in the World Cup Qualifiers.
Shayne Lavery
Lavery has been in decent form in his international career with a goal each in the World Cup Qualifiers and the ongoing UNL. The forward will surely spearhead the Irish attack in Belfast.
