The "Boys in Green" have failed to qualify for major tournaments since Euro 2016. In last year's qualifiers, they didn’t stand much of a chance, being grouped with the Netherlands and France. They even performed worse than Greece, taking six of their eight points against Gibraltar. Meanwhile, the "Three Lions" confidently passed their qualifying stage, including two wins over Italy, only dropping points once (against Ukraine, excluding the final round).
In 2024, Ireland has only played friendlies, with limited success: their only win came against Hungary, while they suffered a 0-3 defeat to Portugal. As for their neighbors, despite traditional criticism of dull play, England reached their second consecutive Euro final, but Spain deservedly won the title.
After that loss, Gareth Southgate stepped down as England manager. He was temporarily replaced by Lee Carsley, who, like Southgate, began his managerial journey as an interim coach. Carsley made significant changes to the squad, not just with Kieran Trippier’s departure, but a further ten players were also left out. There will also be a debut for Heimir Hallgrímsson, the mastermind behind Iceland’s success, who has now moved to Dublin. His squad, however, doesn’t offer many surprises, limited by available options.

Carsley will be eager to make a strong debut, especially against a principled but not the strongest opponent. We suggest betting on the visitors with a "-1 goal" handicap (odds – 1.82).
