WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: We preview Friday’s game between REPUBLIC OF IRELAND v WALES with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND v WALES
7.45pm We have a huge clash in Group D tonight as Wales face the group leaders Ireland in Dublin. Both sides are currently unbeaten in World Cup Qualifying, however Wales sit four points behind Ireland with only one win and three draws. This is sure to be an extremely tight affair, and the odds at the time of writing currently stand at; Ireland 2.56, Wales 3.4, and the draw is 3.15.
On the face on it Ireland seem a bit short at 2.56. Wales haven’t been great lately, however Gareth Bale returning tonight is a huge positive. If you’re thinking about backing Wales at 3.4 – you have to take on board that Ireland have only conceded three times in their last seven home qualifiers – quite an impressive stat. They’re unbeaten in eight home qualifiers, and have started this campaign very well getting results away to Austria and Serbia. For all that the squad might lack a little bit of quality on paper, they seem to get the job done.
The thing about tonight though is they have a long list of players missing. The first choice back pair of Shane Duffy and Ciaran Clark are out, while Wes Hoolahan and Robbie Brady are also out – these players are a huge loss for Ireland. Compare that to Wales, getting back one of the best players in the world Gareth Bale has to tip the scales in favour of Wales. Ireland have a great record at home, however given the squad situations leading into this one, they seem there for the taking tonight. It’s not so long ago that Wales made it to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 – and with Bale returning maybe they can recapture that form tonight. The Ireland lay is extremely tempting at 2.56, however we’re happy to take a chance at 3.4 and go with the Wales win.
