Ireland v England Betting Tips [7 September 2024]

The Republic of Ireland and England will be parading new managers for the first time as they face off in the Nations League. England start life in League B under Lee Carsley while Ireland’s Heimir Hallgrimsson takes charge for the first time. Read on for our prediction of the match.

After just 11 wins in 40 matches, Stephen Kenny has been fully replaced at the Ireland helm. The new man’s first responsibility is to get the Boys in Green promoted. With just three wins in the last 13 matches, the hosts have their work cut out here.

Their most recent match was a June friendly in which they lost 3-0 to Portugal. It was also the fourth time in six matches that they failed to score and they have one clean sheet in that run.

England, humiliatingly eliminated from League A last season, will hope their journey back starts with a win. They have just one win in their last nine Nations League matches. The Three Lions had an unconvincing but successful run to the Euro 2024 final in the summer.

Failing to bag the title for the second straight time meant Gareth Southgate had reached his end. The new manager now has to pick up the ruins after their 2-1 loss to Spain in the championship match at Germany 2024.

Compared to Ireland, the visitors have a better run, winning three of their last seven matches. The result against Spain is their only defeat in the said seven matches and they only failed to score once – in a 0-0 draw with Slovenia.

The last time these two nations met, England carried the day, with a 3-0 win. Now both teams are facing off with a myriad of issues weighing them down. Despite all that, England will arrive for this game as the favorites.

They will be looking to carry on with the gains made at the Euros and have a stronger team compared to Ireland’s. For Hallgrimsson, this will be a tough introduction to the new job.

Our prediction for the Republic of Ireland v England is for England to win.
