How to watch today's Belarus vs Northern Ireland Nations League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Northern Ireland will aim to rebound from their recent setback against Bulgaria as they prepare to face Belarus in a UEFA Nations League C clash on Saturday night.

It's congested at the top of Nations League Group C3. Currently, Belarus and Bulgaria lead with four points apiece from September's fixtures, while Northern Ireland sits just one point behind in third, thanks to their opening win over Luxembourg, who remain at the bottom.

Despite the recent 1-0 loss to Bulgaria interrupting their solid form, there's still considerable optimism around this young Northern Ireland squad. Michael O'Neill's side started their campaign on a strong note, securing a 2-0 victory over Luxembourg in Belfast with Paddy McNair and Dan Ballard scoring early to take control in their Group 3 opener.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Northern Ireland team news

Head coach Michael O'Neill faces a challenge with Bailey Peacock-Farrell sidelined due to injury, ruling him out for both Nations League fixtures. In his absence, Christy Pym from Mansfield Town has been brought in as cover and will compete with Luke Southwood and Pierce Charles for the starting goalkeeper position on Saturday.

Defensively, Northern Ireland also feel the impact of Dan Ballard's absence, and with Jonny Evans of Manchester United recently retiring from international duty, O'Neill will need to make adjustments at the back.

On a positive note, the attacking lineup gets a boost with the return of Jamie Reid, who had been forced to miss the September matches due to a blood clot. The Stevenage forward is ready to contribute and strengthen Northern Ireland's offensive options.

Northern Ireland possible XI: Southwood; Hume, McNair, Toal, Brown, Lewis; Bradley, Saville, S. Charles, Price; D. Charles

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Peacock-Farrell, Hazard, Charles, Southwood, Pym, Clarke
Defenders:Bradley, Lewis, Hume, Ballard, McNair, Toal, Spencer, Donnelly, Brown
