Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs in-form Ireland.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Troy Parrott to score anytime | TBC | Troy Parrott is in excellent form, scoring three times across Ireland’s September and October games, including one in the 3-0 win over Israel, and he has made a bright start at club level with Real Betis. Israel have conceded six goals in three group games and offer little resistance, so the Ireland forward, leading the line in the absence of the injured Evan Ferguson, looks a strong bet to add to his tally against a side he has already scored against this window. |
| Republic of Ireland to win | TBC | Ireland dismantled Israel 3-0 in Debrecen 10 days ago and, despite throwing away a 2-0 lead to draw with Austria, remain in the promotion mix. Israel are bottom of the group, winless and with just one goal in three games, and they offer little threat. Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side have far too much for the Israelis, and even at a neutral venue they should secure a comfortable second win over them. |
