Northern Ireland

Starting with the hosts, while Northern Ireland might have eventually fallen short in the race to book an iconic World Cup adventure back in March, the Greens got their Nations League charge underway with an eye-catching performance over the weekend. Producing a rugged performance on foreign soil as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at Georgia, Michael O’Neill’s men will be looking to make another League B statement here. With their sights fixed on mounting a genuine promotion charge this year, the one-time Stoke City boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their continued dominance on home soil. Along with winning four of their previous four appearances at Windsor Park across all competitions, Northern Ireland have remarkably tasted just a sole defeat in front of their own supporters since way back in October 2023.

Northern Ireland Team News

The teenage duo of Arsenal’s Ceadach O’Neill and Everton starlet Braiden Graham have retained their spots in Northern Ireland’s squad this month. Defenders Dan Ballard, Paddy McNair, Terry Devlin and Eoin Toal have all returned to the squad after missing the June games.

Completing a season-long loan switch from Premier League giants Manchester City over the summer, 21-year-old Pierce Charles will start between the sticks. New Fulham recruit Shea Charles will start in the middle of the park on Monday night.

Hungary

As for the visitors, while Hungary might have opened up 2026 in the midst of a real flurry, the Tricolours opened their respective Nations League adventure with a toothless display on home soil. Eventually falling to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Ukraine, Marco Rossi’s men are desperately searching for an immediate boost on Monday night. Facing what should be another rugged examination when they travel to Windsor Park, Hungary are also searching for some essential stability. In fact, Rossi’s side have registered consecutive victories across all competitions on just a single occasion since way back in March 2024. However, looking to put a maiden Nations League victory on the board in Belfast, Monday’s guests claimed a 1-0 victory when they last travelled to Windsor Park four years ago.

Hungary Team News

Putting pen to paper on a new deal with former Premier League champions Liverpool back in July, talismanic skipper Dominik Szoboszlai will lead Hungary out at Windsor Park on Monday night.

Now in his second campaign at Anfield, former Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez will start at left-back. Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Balazs Toth will start between the sticks in Belfast and earn a ninth international cap here.

Northern Ireland vs Hungary Key Factors to Consider

• When Hungary last travelled to Windsor Park back in March 2022, Monday’s guests clinched a 1-0 victory.
• Northern Ireland have remarkably suffered just a sole defeat in Belfast since way back in October 2023.
• Hungary have registered consecutive victories across all competitions on just a single occasion since way back in March 2024.
• Four of the last five meetings between Northern Ireland and Hungary have finished with under 2.5 goals.
• Likewise, the Greens have seen all of their previous seven straight matchups at Windsor Park finish with under 2.5 goals.

Conclusion

Getting their Nations League adventure underway with a gritty 1-0 victory against Georgia over the weekend, Northern Ireland will also be excited by a return to Windsor Park on Monday night. Although Hungary might have snatched a 1-0 win when they last travelled to Belfast back in March 2022, O’Neill’s men have rightfully gained a reputation for their continued dominance on home soil. With the Greens seeing all of their previous seven consecutive showdowns in Belfast finish with under 2.5 goals, chances could come at a premium here.
