Wales vs Ireland Prediction & Betting tips
Game with taste of revenge is what awaits us this Thursday at Cardiff City Stadium, when by Group 4 of the League, the Wales team welcome their Irish counterpart.
Wales:
As you know Wales closed its participation in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup Russia at home and was just against Ireland, in a game where they had to tie to ensure their presence in the playoff round, but in the end a goal by James McCleand in the minute 57 gave the victory to the visitor and Ireland took second place, so now in the debut in the UEFA Nations League, they want to take revenge and add a victory that leads from the beginning to take hold of the first place in the group and so get promotion to the A League
So for this game Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey will be available to new coach Ryan Giggs who has arrived to replace Chris Coleman, so Wales comes out with all his might.
Ireland:
On the other hand the ones directed by Martin O’Neill although they arrived at the playoff by qualification for the World Cup Russia 2018 at the end they could not leave on the way to Denmark in a series that was going well since in the first leg on Danish soil they tied to zero goals, but in the return did not know to take advantage of the value of the locality and was defeated 1-5.
But finally Ireland begins another new illusion and continue under the command of O’Neill, in its last friendly game in June beat the United States 2-1 and thus left behind a three-game losing streak, but Now they are eager to repeat the story of their last visit to Wales to fight for the first place in the group.
As we have said above, the last time these teams met was for the 2018 Russia Qualifiers and it was Ireland who was left with the last game as well as second place in the group. With this result Ireland maintains an unbeaten eight games against Wales, where three of them finished in victories. And if we want to be more extensive, of the eleven direct confrontations, Wales only won once.
