England vs Republic of Ireland prediction, stats, tips & team news: Will England seal promotion to Group A?

Lee Carlsey will lead his final match as interim head coach of England when the Republic of Ireland visits Wembley on Sunday, November 17, at 5 PM to conclude the UEFA Nations League group phase.

The Three Lions sit top of Group B2 with their win against Greece putting them in pole position to gain promotion to Group A. Ireland, in third place, have nothing to play for after their victory against Finland, with them unable to win promotion or face relegation.

Over 2.5 goals (4/6 with BoyleSports)

Four of England’s previous five UEFA Nations League home matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored in them. The same can be said of four of the last six competitive games The Three Lions have played. The reverse fixture of this game ended 2-0 to England but they dominated the game and could’ve scored plenty more with more composure in front of goal.

Harry Kane to score 2+ (18/5 with BoyleSports)

Harry Kane has scored in 14 of his last 23 international appearances, tallying a total of 17 goals. The England captain was rested on Thursday but is expected to start this game and will be looking to end the Nations League campaign on a high. Kane has scored 17 goals in 16 appearances for Bayern Munich this season.

How both teams go into England vs Republic of Ireland

Gareth Southgate stepped down as the England manager after losing a second consecutive European Championship final. He was initially replaced by the Three Lions U21 boss, Lee Carsley, who will step aside for Thomas Tuchel after the conclusion of the Nations League group phase. England started their campaign well, achieving back-to-back wins over the Republic of Ireland and Finland. However, they suffered a surprising home loss to Greece. Since then, they have recovered and are now on the brink of promotion from League B. In contrast, Ireland is facing a tougher situation, losing three out of five matches, leaving them with no hope of making it out of Group B2.
