Ireland vs Gibraltar Prediction: The visitors are the clear underdogs of the group

Prediction for the match between Ireland and Gibraltar, which will take place on June 19. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Irish team is not a frequent visitor to major international tournaments. They have only played at the World Cup once in the 21st century, at the very beginning of the century, but they have made it to the European Championships twice in the last three qualifying cycles. There is a good chance that Euro 2024 will be played without the Greens. The thing is that they have been drawn in the same group as the French and Dutch, and so it is difficult for them to claim two trips to Germany against such high-profile opponents. The Irish got off to a poor start in qualifying, losing their opening two games to the French and Greeks 0:1 and 1:2, respectively.

The Gibraltar team is a typical football underdog that, for a long time, was not a FIFA member at all, and after joining the organization, it has shown very modest results. The only thing the Red and Whites can boast is a successful appearance in the UEFA Nations League in the 2020/21 season, when they finished top of their group in the weakest division, beating San Marino and Liechtenstein. They were promoted but failed in Ligue C, picking up just one point in six meetings. The Gibraltarians lost all ten games in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, 4:43 on aggregate, and Euro 2024 qualification got off to a poor start as they lost to the Greeks, the Netherlands, and the French with the same score of 0:3.

The Gibraltar national side has suffered three straight setbacks in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, but it's a fact that is unlikely to surprise anyone. But two straight defeats for the Irish is an event that should make them rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans. They are unlikely to qualify for the continental finals, but they shouldn't be disappointed. The Greens are traditionally good on home soil and should win comfortably in their encounter with the group's main outsider.

We have already mentioned that Gibraltar is the clear underdog in Group B of the Euro 2024 qualifying; that's why the difference in the opponents' class should be evident from the very first minutes. We have already seen how the Red and Whites conceded to the Greeks in 11 minutes, and the French allowed only three minutes for the French to open the scoring.
