• Venue: Estádio Algarve (Faro/Loulé)

Prior to the initiation of the EURO qualification in group B, it was evident that Gibraltar stood as the largest underdog. Accomplishing the task of securing points, or even scoring a goal, against formidable teams such as France, Holland, Greece, and Ireland seemed to be a daunting challenge.

France is in control and will confidently secure the top spot, while the Netherlands, despite losing twice to the French, should have no trouble securing second place. Greece and Ireland, unfortunately, find themselves in the presence of these formidable teams within their group.

Gibraltar holds no weight in this matter. Out of the 5 matches they played, they suffered a loss in each one and allowed a staggering total of 17 goals. To exacerbate the situation, they failed to score a single goal themselves.

Ireland’s performance was not significantly better than Gibraltar’s. Out of the 6 matches played, they suffered 5 losses and managed only one victory, which happened to be against their current opponent with a score of 3-0 at home. This qualifier has been a disheartening experience for Ireland, and it is likely that everyone eagerly anticipates its conclusion to begin rebuilding the team.

Gibraltar vs Ireland pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE &— NO

This match holds little significance for both teams, but it carries a certain level of prestige, particularly for Ireland. So far, Ireland has only been able to secure a few points, making this match crucial for them. On the other hand, Gibraltar has faced numerous defeats in the past, and their chances of achieving positive results are limited to friendly matches, such as their victories against Liechtenstein and Andorra last year. Even in 2023, Gibraltar has yet to make a significant impact, and it is expected that this situation will continue unchanged.
