Ireland – Wales World Cup Prediction and Preview

Preview

Ireland – Wales: 24th March 2017

Surprisingly, after a very good Euro 2016, Ireland’s first place in Group D with 10 points after four matches. Martin O’Neill’s team could have maximum points but gave up a point in Serbia (2-2) with bad luck. However, team morale is in addition to the white Greens come after an impressive 1-0 with Austria in Vienna match that was defended perfectly.

There are not many options in attack outside of Bale

Wales comes after a 1-1 home Georgia and the big surprise at Euro 2016 seems decreasing speed. If Bale is not in great shape and not make a difference alone, Welsh passes are less harmless. Even with Hal Robson-Kanu outposts, Wales does not have another class striker to finalize attacks.

Last duel directly goalless draw

We’re talking about two teams playing at a good pace, very physical, but sometimes struggles to break the defensive side dams. That could translate into a new draw, as happened last direct duel: 0-0 in a friendly in 2013. Gareth Bale returned from an injury, but this is not a guarantee of performance in Dublin where Ireland rarely lose.
