Ireland vs Serbia Prediction & Betting tips
In the qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, things are getting so slow. In group D there are still three games, of which the next will be played on Tuesday (05.09.). We are dealing with the meeting between Ireland and Serbia, which will be kicked off at 7:45 pm at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The Serbs were able to gain an advantage last Saturday with a clear victory against Moldova and could make a big step towards the finals with another victory. For Ireland gave a surprisingly two important points in Georgia and is therefore almost condemned to win on Tuesday.
Ireland :
The Irish national team still undefeated in the current World Cup qualifying will participate in a World Cup finals for the fourth time and everything is still possible. However, after the disastrous appearance in Georgia, it should be a victory against the group from Serbia, but a draw is at least mandatory. While the gap to the Serbs after the seventh day is two points, the lead to the third place Welsh has shrunk to two points.
The starting point has changed for the elite of coach Martin O’Neill so only in one point. It could be a three-fight. A look at the last three games, however, gives little hope of a triple for the Irish team. Only the last test match against Uruguay could be won with 3: 1. In the two subsequent qualifying games, the Irish split with a 1: 1 draw against Austria and Georgia.
Serbia:
Even the selection of Serbia is still unbeaten in the current World Cup qualifying, but could land a big point on Tuesday. In contrast to Ireland, the Serbs were able to win the last group game against Moldova confidently 3: 0 and the Irish marching in the marching for the first time during the qualifying distance. With a further victory the lead could be four or five points ahead of the decisive last two game days.
In the event of a defeat, however, the table lead is definitely lost, and also Wales, which takes the lead in Moldova, could go up to a point. In contrast to the Irish, however, the Serbs were able to win two of the last three games. Apart from the 3-0 win over Moldova, coach Slavoljub Muslin’s side also won three points in Georgia with a 3-1 win. Only in the interim home game against Wales, it was only a 1: 1 draw.
