The Republic of Ireland, along with Finland, are in real danger of being relegated from League B of the Nations League and they must avoid defeat tonight in order to avoid automatic relegation into the third tier of the competition.

 

Third in the group

Since appointing Heimir Hallgrimsson as head coach, Ireland have managed just a single win from their four Nations League group outings along with three defeats, however this sole victory came from their trip to Finland last month. The Boys in Green were hopeful of following this hard-fought win with another in Greece, however they went down 2-0 in Athens and currently sit third in the group table with just three points to their name.

 

Automatic relegation

Hallgrimsson’s men will avoid an automatic relegation to the third tier should they avoid defeat to Finland tonight, however a third-place finish will send them into next year’s play-offs and as things stand they sit six points behind second-placed England – who they face at Wembley on Saturday -with just two matches left to play.

 

Improve in the final third

Should Ireland wish to prevail tonight, they must improve their form considerably in the final third at home, the side having failed to find the back of the net in all-but-two of their last ten home games with five defeats during this time.

 

Four group defeats

Opponents Finland have added to the scoreline in six of their last eleven Nations League matches on the road, however their third successive League B campaign looks set to end with relegation with defeats in each of their four group games. The visitors must win in the Irish capital tonight in order to avoid an automatic relegation into the third tier of the tournament.

 

Low-scoring encounter

There’s much riding on this encounter for both sides as they look to avoid dropping straight into League C. Neither Ireland nor Finland have impressed going forward and as such, we envisage a low-scoring encounter with a single goal enough to separate the sides in the Irish capital.

 

Back Ireland to win 1-0 at best odds of 9/2
