Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby says the "door is open" for the 38-year-old defender Julie Nelson to return to the international set-up.

Nelson, who is Northern Ireland's most-capped player, returned to action in the summer following a knee injury, but has not been included in either of Oxtoby's squads.

Ground staff are working hard to clear the pitch ahead of the 19:00 GMT restart in Skoder, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to get the second half underway amidst continuing downpours.

Hanna Nemeth scored a 94th minute winner as Hungary defeated Northern Ireland 3-2 in Gyor in the Women's Nations League on Friday.

Caragh Hamilton cancelled out Viktoria Szabo's early opener but Dora Sule's superb goal restored Hungary's lead.

Simone Magill equalised with a penalty in the 89th minute after Sarah McFadden was fouled, but Nemeth touched in a 94th-minute free-kick for the hosts.

Northern Ireland

Tanya Oxtoby has made five changes to the team that narrowly lost in Hungary on Friday.

It looks like Caragh Hamilton will be lining out at right back, a position she has played for Lewes this season, and she comes in for Rebecca McKenna.

Laura Rafferty, Megan Bell, Chloe McCarron and Simone Magill also come into the side.

Rebecca Holloway, Rachel Furness, Joely Andrews and Caitlin McGuinness make way.

Rebecca Holloway is suspended after picking up her second yellow card in Gyor.

Northern Ireland: Turner, Hamilton, McFadden, Rafferty, Vance, McCarron, Caldwell, Bell, Maxwell, Wade, Magill.

Subs: Norney, Woods, McKenna, Mason, Callaghan, Furness, McGuinness, Burrows, Wilson, Andrews, Beattie, Magee.

Hungary: Szocs, Csiszar, D Nemeth, Fenyvesi, Kajan, Szabo, Papai, Vida, H Nemeth, Kovacs, Zeller.

Subs: Pongracz, Schildkraut, Palakovics, Pusztai, Savanya, Sule, V Nagy, F Nagy, Vachter, Sikler, Zagor, Papp.

Northern Ireland boss Tanya Oxtoby says her team have improved during the early stages of her reign but admits they are "nowhere near where we want to be" regarding their long-term ambitions.

NI suffered late heartache in Hungary on Friday and face the same opponents in Belfast on Tuesday.

"We've spoken about using that as motivation for this game," Oxtoby said, referring to Friday's defeat in Gyor.

"This game can't come quick enough for the group to get out there and put that right."

It's Halloween night and Northern Ireland will be hoping to avoid a fright against Hungary at Seaview.

Manager Tanya Oxtoby will be wanting to make sure there are no skeletons in the closet after Friday's last-gasp defeat and will be eager that any ghosts are laid to rest in tonight's reverse fixture.

Will it be a trick or treat tonight for Oxtoby's side? It should be spook-tacular. Sorry...

After the fun and games in the rain in Albania, it's also raining here but the artificial pitch is holding up well.

For now we will turn our attention to the other game taking place in Group B1 tonight between Northern Ireland and Hungary...

It remains to be seen whether this game will restart at 19:00 GMT, as the weather forecast in Shkoder continues to show heavy downpour into the early hours of tomorrow morning.

The weather is set to clear by tomorrow evening so the game could be rescheduled to Wednesday night.

The FAI have confirmed that the referee has decided to delay the start of the second half by 60 minutes due to the weather conditions.

A decision will then be made in an hour's time whether the game can be resumed, but it is looking bleak at the moment.

Still no update on the second half.

The pitch looks in absolutely horrendous shape. The amount of surface water is really quite alarming.

No word yet of the match being called off so, as it stands, the players are about to walk back into the storm.

I don't envy them.

And the referee blows for half-time.

The pitch is completely unplayable now.

Will there even be a second half? With the rain continuing to hammer down, I'm not so sure...

Another three minutes to go until half-time.

To be honest, it's kind of remarkable that this match has lasted this long.

Ohhh, the Republic have the conditions to thank as the surface water prevents the ball from reaching Mimoza Hamidi, who was unmarked inside the Irish penalty box.

The Republic are able to scramble back and it goes behind for a corner.

The conditions are really getting out of hand now. The ball is getting caught up in the water constantly.

The ball isn't rolling truly across the sodden surface so there must be a real chance of this match being called off because of the rain.

Denise O'Sullivan gets another sight at the Albanian goal but her header is well wide as thunder crashes in the Albanian sky.

Another chance for the Republic as Denise O'Sullivan spins into space in the box but her shot is blocked and it goes behind for a corner.

The rain is truly torrential at this stage. Deary me.

The rain is absolutely pelting down now. A miserable evening.
