Northern Ireland will be looking to build momentum for March's World Cup playoffs when they take on Luxembourg at Windsor Park.
Michael O'Neill's side cannot finish in the top two of their group after their loss in Slovakia on Friday but could still qualify for next summer's tournament having secured a spot in Thursday's draw via the Nations League.
The Green and Whites topped a group featuring Luxembourg, beating them twice, and made it three in a row against the tiny nation with a 3-1 win in September.
They will expect another victory in Belfast with their opponents bottom of the group on zero points.
Can Northern Ireland finish the campaign strongly and build momentum? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips and odds.
Northern Ireland vs. Luxembourg preview: Who will win today?
Luxembourg have scored just one goal in this qualifying campaign, and that came in their 3-1 loss at home to Northern Ireland two months ago.
That was the first of five defeats in a row and it will surely become six with O'Neill's men at their best under the lights at Windsor Park.
