In their last 10 games across all competitions, Ireland have won just three times. But the opponents were not the toughest; two wins against Gibraltar and one victory over Latvia (friendly match). They have lost both home and away matches to France, the Netherlands and Greece. Belgium, meanwhile, had an undefeated 2023 year. The Red Devils registered eight victories and two draws against Austria and Sweden. Belgium have won their last 5 away matches in all competitions.
Prediction: Belgium to win
For our second prediction, we will pick total goals over 1.5. In the last four meetings between the Republic of Ireland and Belgium, there were scored more than 1.5 goals per match. We are confident that we will see the same scenario repeated in this encounter too.
Betting Tip: Over 1.5
Republic Ireland and Belgium will face in a friendly match this Saturday in Dublin.
Ireland failed to qualify to the Euro 2024 final, after having the worst qualifier campaign in recent years. As a result, Stephen Kenny was sacked as Ireland manager. Former Manchester United defend John O’Shea has been appointed interim head coach.
Belgium, on the other hand, will be part of the European Championship this summer. Domenico Tedesco’s men have won their group in the qualifying round, collecting 20 points through 8 matches.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils also find themselves in the “easiest” group in the final round. They are in one group with Romania, Slovakia and the winner of the Path B.
Tunisia: TBD
Croatia: TBD
