Match Facts
This is the first meeting between Scotland and Northern Ireland since March 2015 in a friendly, won 1-0 by the Scots with a goal from Christophe Berra.
Northern Ireland are winless in their last 10 away matches against Scotland (D3 L7) since a 1-0 win in May 1974. In those 10 games, they have only scored one goal, with Billy Hamilton scoring their opening goal in a 1-1 draw in March 1981.
Scotland are winless in their last six games in all competitions (D2 L4), having won five in a row before this. They’ve conceded 18 goals in these six games, as many as they’d shipped in their previous 22 combined.
Northern Ireland have lost just three of their last 11 friendly matches (W6 D2), with just one of those losses coming away from home (0-1 v Ukraine in June 2021).
Scotland have won just one of their last 12 friendly matches (D3 L8), beating Luxembourg 1-0 in June 2021. They’ve lost their last four in a row, but have never previously lost five consecutive friendlies.
After a run of seven defeats in eight games in all competitions (W1), Northern Ireland have gone unbeaten in their last two (W1 D1). They last avoided defeat in three consecutive matches between November 2021 and March 2022.
Scotland have scored at least once in each of their last 17 home games in all competitions, last failing to do so in a goalless draw with Israel in October 2020. It’s the Tartan Army’s longest scoring streak at home since a run of 20 between 1974 and 1978.
Northern Ireland have lost each of their last five games played on a Tuesday in all competitions, conceding 13 goals and scoring just three in reply.
