Ireland
WLWLWW
Ireland, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-1 Nations League triumph versus Bulgaria.
In that game, Ireland managed 51% possession and 14 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Ireland, goals were scored by Evan Ferguson (63') and Adam Idah (84'). Bulgaria had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Valentin Antov (30') scored for Bulgaria.
It’s been all too rare in recent times where Ireland have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Ireland have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals during that time.
Senegal
WWDWDW 📈
Senegal head into the game after a 2-0 WC Qualifiers - Africa win versus Togo in their most recent game.
For Senegal, the goalscorers were Pape Matar Sarr (35') and Moussa Niakhaté (67').
A run of dependable performances by the Senegal defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 1 from their past 6 fixtures overall. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 8. Putting that to one side, time will tell whether such a trend might be sustained here in this game.

Prediction
Ireland might need a bit of good fortune to get anything against this Senegal outfit who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Senegal at the end of the match.
Let’s see what happens.
