Live on Skysports 2: Sun: 17:30: Ireland (1/2, Coral) should narrowly edge out Georgia in the pair’s friendly clash in Dublin.
Republic of Ireland warm-up for their World Cup qualifier against Faroe Islands next week by taking on Georgia in Dublin and boosted by the decent 1-1 draw against England at Wembley in midweek, Giovanni Trapattoni’s side look likely to prepare in the perfect fashion for the Group C battle.
The Irish are 1/2 at Coral to get the better of the visiting Georgians (13/2, Stan James) and it’s 3/1 courtesy of Betfred to end in stalemate.
There’s little in the away side’s form to suggest they can upset the odds and with only three goals in their five qualifiers in Group I, they will struggle to break down an Ireland defence that looked pretty solid against England.
A low-scoring affair featuring fewer than three goals (8/11, BetVictor) is on the cards then while Paddy Power’s 6/4 for the hosts to combine victory with a clean sheet seems a pretty safe bet and punters wanting to take a little more of a chance can tackle Ladbrokes’ 5/1 for Trapattoni’s troops to triumph 1-0.
In attack, Shane Long broke the deadlock against England and he’s 5/1 (Skybet) to repeat the feat in this one while Robbie Keane is a slightly skinnier 4/1 with William Hill to bag the opener.
Recommended Bets:
Ireland to win 1-0 – 5/1 (Ladbrokes)
Ireland to win ‘to nil’ – 6/4 (Paddy Power)
