Ireland vs Wales Prediction & Betting tips
There is an Anglo-Saxon clash scheduled in Group D of qualifying for the World Cup of Russia. Ireland takes over the in-house against Wales and defends it a margin of four points Welshmen. Bale and his countrymen must take points to stay in the footsteps of Ireland and Serbia. Ireland may hold his lead?
Ireland :
There are played only four of the ten rounds, but in Ireland they can go all carefully dreaming of the World Cup in Russia. The team of coach Martin O’Neill auctions had already suffered a relatively easy group and qualifying could hardly have started better. After four games, the Irish have amassed ten points; only Serbia-out gave a split up. If they win Friday, they put the backlog rival and biggest rival in Group D already seven points. Wales has of course top players, but it is not unrealistic scenario because Ireland has no qualifier longer lost in their own stadium since 2013.
Despite the margin of four points is Ireland Friday before profit, says assistant coach Roy Keane. “I know from working with the staff and group of players we have, you’re wrong if you think that Friday with a draw in mind to enter the contest. We are here to win, “said the former striker. The Irish have some personnel problems. Daryl Murphy and Shane Duffy were injured, while in recent days also became clear that Wes Hoolahan, Ciaran Clark and Harry Arter not be available. “Wes is not there, certainly not. It looks clearly not good, not for us, not for him, not for his club, “O’Neill said of the hip of his playmaker.
“James looks at it day by day. He thinks he can make it, “the coach said of the hamstring injury of James McCarthy. Optionally play McCarthy against the sore spot of Everton coach Koeman, but O’Neill does not care. Robbie Brady is missing because of a suspension. Furthermore, Seamus Coleman and Jonny Hayes slight ankle problems, but they will just play. “The irony of this is that when Bale was injured in November, everyone agreed was that Wales would possibly miss one of the key players and now it appears that we are the ones who suffer injuries,” O’Neill added yet.
Probable lineup Ireland
Randolph; Coleman, O’Shea, Keogh, Ward; Hendrick, Whelan, McCarthy; Walters, Long, McClean
Wales :
Although Wales, like Ireland and Serbia is still unbeaten in Group D, the Welsh had a poor start to qualifying. Moldova was admittedly put aside with large numbers and a point in an away match against Austria is not bad, but at home against Georgia and Serbia’s team Chris Coleman did not go beyond a draw. Somewhere was a poor start to be expected. Wales was the surprise of the conference after the semifinals the European Championship 2016 to be turned off and then it can be difficult to find new energy for a new qualification campaign. In addition, the team has a new status; no country will be that Bale and co. underestimated.
Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts looks out for. “Or is a point enough? I do not think so. I would even argue that it’s a must-win for us if we want a chance to finish top of the group. “Unlike the Irish state Wales are on staff face very well. Only Tom Lawrence is missing, but Gareth Bale, Ben Davies, Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey are simply available even though they were all injured in the recent period. “Aaron, we only had one there in the first four games. That was difficult for us and we had Joe Allen but also for two and a bit. We look forward to having back Rambo. He has been playing at Arsenal and feels good, “Coleman said.
Probable lineup Wales
Hennessey; Gunter, Chester, Williams, Davies, Taylor; Ramsey, Allen, Ledley; Bale, Vokes
