Ireland face England at Wembley tonight in their first encounter since that infamous night on February 15th, 1995. England have several players unavailable but their starting lineup is still likely to be stronger than Ireland's. Whether their motivation to win the game will be stronger than Ireland's is another thing.
England are favourites to win the game at 4/9 with Ireland 13/2 and the draw 10/3.
Ireland have played England on thirteen occasions down the years (not including 1995) and have only failed to score twice. In those clashes the score has been 1-1, six times. A score which is available at 7/1 with Ladbrokes.
If you fancy Ireland to be competitive tonight but are unsure of victory then you go with Ireland +1 which is 29/20.
Jonathan Walters is Ireland's top scorer in the World Cup qualifying campaign so far and is priced at 4/1 to score at anytime tonight. While Robbie Keane, likely to be on penalty kick duty, is 7/2 to score at anytime.
Our recommended bet for tonight's game is a correct score bet of 1-1 (7-1).
If Ireland score first tonight, Ladbrokes will refund losing first goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets.
