When: Saturday, September 7, 6 pm CET

The rivalry between Ireland and England is massive, no matter the sport. However, when it comes to football or rugby, it exceeds all the possible boundaries. Of course, the English unit has much more success in this sport, but the feisty Irish are always willing to upset the big neighbor.

Ireland vs. England Preview

Republic of Ireland

Things aren’t looking good for the Irish teams because it only posted a pair of wins in the recent ten appearances. One was against Gibraltar in the EURO qualifiers, and the other was against Hungary in a friendly international just before the tournament in Germany.

Ireland tries to make a new generation of players worthy of wearing this kit, and that’s why we see plenty of young guys on the roster for these events. The defense is mostly comprised of veterans, but the midfield and the attack have youngsters.

Players like Bristol’s Jason Knight, Adam Idah from Celtic, then Troy Parrott, who plays for AZ Alkmaar, are the future of the crew, and head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson needs to build a team around them.

England

Lee Carlslie leads England now, and nobody likes that. Though, let’s wait and see what the former midfielder has to offer. The Three Lions are still licking wounds following the lost finals in Germany and now have to face the B tier of the UEFA Nations League.

A big problem will be Jude Bellingham’s absence, with Real’s midfielder injuring his foot. Without him, this team struggled in the past, and we are free to say that reaching the finals at EURO was solely due to his presence on the field.

Though, other superstars like Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer are present and the English unit still has magnificent quality.

Ireland vs England Predictions

Republic of Ireland is always tough at home, and their motive to play well this match will be very high. Still, England has a higher quality and many world-class stars, unlike the hosts. Their minus is Bellingham’s absence. After reviewing all the factors and circumstances here, our final pick is moderate efficiency, meaning 2 or 3 goals, without proposing the full-time result.

Our verdict: 2 or 3 goals
