France vs Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro
by | in Euro Predictions
This is where the pressure really comes on the French team. Favourite since the start, the Blues, fragile against Romania (2-1), Albania (2-0) and Switzerland (0-0), know they will need to seriously ramp up to go through. Before undoubtedly meeting England, Didier Deschamps's men must break the green barrier. An old friend who still clearly remember the handball from Thierry Henry and an unlikely goal from William Gallas in the World Cup play-off. Seven years have passed, but the infernal scenario is always in the back of the minds of the "Boys in green". Qualified for the knockout stages with last gasp win over the Italians in Lille, Ireland have nothing to lose and will use this to fighten the Blues at home. Finally, we will find out if this young French has the stomach to progress.

France - Ireland Key Points
- Didier Deschamps has had the opportunity to rotate his squad against Switzerland (0-0). Payet, Griezmann, Giroud, Matuidi and Kanté will be fresh, ready to fight.
- The Irish have instead been seeking qualification in the last minutes against the Azzurri on Wednesday in Lille (0-1). A tough game physically and nervously that could be costly for green.
- France won 11 of their last 13 games.
- La French central hinge-Rami Koscielny have been reassuring since the beginning of the competition and will keep Shane Long on a tight leash.
- Hammered by Belgium (3-0) in Group E, the Irish defense will struggle to defend against Payet, Griezmann and Giroud. Knowing that Coman and Martial are likely to come off the bench, we can legitimately consider that the France team will explode sooner or later.
