Wales and Northern Ireland played out a 1–1 draw in an International Friendly on 31 March, with contrasting approaches defining a tightly contested encounter. Wales dominated territorially with 13 shots, though only three found the target, whilst generating 1.31 xG from their 4–2–3–1 setup. Northern Ireland, operating in a more compact 3–4–3 formation, proved clinical in their finishing, converting chances more efficiently despite registering just ten shots; their 1.66 xG underscored their superior shot quality. The visitors' four shots on target created genuine problems for Wales' goalkeeper, who made saves at a 66.67 per cent rate. Neither side could find a decisive breakthrough in what remained a balanced affair, with both teams sharing the spoils. The result leaves both nations with unfinished business ahead of their next competitive fixtures.
