Ireland v Gibraltar predictions
Ireland have started their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign on the back foot but they have a golden opportunity to record maximum points when they welcome Gibraltar to Dublin on Monday.
After failing to reach Euro 2020 or last year's World Cup, Stephen Kenny's men have made an underwhelming start to their latest qualifying campaign, losing 1-0 to France and 2-1 to Greece.
But even the misfiring Irish should be able to polish off a Gibralter side who are 201st in Fifa's world rankings and have lost all three of their Euro 2024 qualifiers by 3-0 scorelines.
This is a must-win game for Ireland but Kenny's side aren't renowned for blowing teams away and Gibraltar have managed to keep the scoreline respectable in their Group B outings against Greece, the Netherlands and France.
With that in mind, punters should look at backing a win for Ireland and under 3.5 goals - a bet which landed in each of the two meetings between these nations in 2019.
Key stat
Four of Ireland's last five matches have featured under 3.5 goals.
Probable teams
Ireland (3-5-2): Bazunu; O'Shea, Collins, Egan; Sykes, Cullen, Molumby, Knight, O'Dowda; Ferguson, Parrott.
Gibraltar (5-4-1): Coleing; Sergeant, R Chipolina, Lopes, Olivero, Britto; De Barr, Pozo, Hartman, Ronan; El Hmidi.
