A Closer Look
Bookmakers have had their say and you can bet on over 100 markets in the match, including winner, both teams to score, total goals, correct score, handicap and plenty more besides.

Ireland held on for a decent draw away to Denmark in June and followed that with a 2-0 at this venue when hosting the minnows of Gibraltar three days later. A more comfortable margin was expected in the latter, but they got the job done, collected all three points in Group D and strengthened their chances of qualifying.
Irish Need Luck
Chipolina suffered the humiliation of scoring an own-goal on 30 minutes when put under heavy pressure and that lead was doubled thanks to a strike from Brady deep into injury time. There’s not too much to take from that one – an OG and a late goal against one of the lowest-ranked teams in the world – but the team had time to regroup and we should see a better performance here.
The betting has Switzerland as favourites to beat Ireland and that doesn’t come as a massive shock to us. Those in agreement with the bookies will get their hands on the 11/10 available at Bet365. A home cheer is yours at an appealing 11/4 – top price at Bet365.
