Rep. Of Ireland vs Israel Prediction & Betting Tips

How Both Sides Have Been Playing

Ireland's sample of seven matches shows two wins, four draws and only one defeat, with eight goals scored and just three conceded. Most of that comes from friendlies against sides like Grenada and Qatar, but the one competitive result in the mix was a 1-0 loss away to Kosovo in their last Nations League outing.

Israel's five-match sample is more even: two wins, two draws and one loss, with five scored and five conceded. They also lost their most recent match, going down 3-1 away to Austria, though they'd drawn with Georgia and beaten Albania before that.

Most of these matches are friendlies rather than competitive fixtures, so this pattern doesn't necessarily tell us how either side will approach a Nations League game.

Comparative Team Statistics: Rep. Of Ireland vs Israel

Team News

The player data we have covers just one match each, so it's a narrow snapshot rather than full squad news. S. Farhi scored for Israel in their last outing but was also booked and sent off in that same game, while E. Peretz picked up a yellow card too.

For Ireland, J. Abankwah was booked in their most recent match. None of this confirms who's actually available for this fixture, but it's worth keeping an eye on given Farhi's red card.

How Might This One Play Out?

Both sides arrive off the back of a defeat in their last Nations League match, so there's likely to be some motivation to put things right on both ends.

Ireland's home sample leans towards tight, low-scoring games defensively, having conceded just three in seven matches. Israel, by contrast, have shown they can score but also concede fairly freely away from home. Put together, that points to a contest that could go either way rather than one with an obvious favourite.
