Northern Ireland head coach Michael O’Neill has expressed confidence in his team’s current form ahead of their UEFA Nations League clash against Ukraine in Slovakia. Despite this, he acknowledged that the visitors are the clear favorites for the match.
“We’re pleased with where we stand at the moment. The lads have performed very well in the opening fixtures,” O’Neill commented, referring to his squad’s four points from the initial rounds.
“I think they are the favorites. They are technically playing at home, even though the match isn’t taking place in Ukraine. They have a very strong team.
I believe they are probably a bit ahead of us in terms of development. But we’re comfortable with not being the favorites in this game,” O’Neill added modestly.
