The Republic of Ireland put in one of their typical defensive displays to earn a goalless draw in Denmark in the first leg of this World Cup play-off. That should put the Irish in the driving seat as they attempt to reach the finals but their home form isn't as good as it has been in the past. Their five qualifying games in Group D only produced seven points and six of those came against the bottom two teams in the group. The other three games saw Ireland score just once in a win, draw and defeat. All five home games had under 2.5 goals scored and eight of the ten. Their last six internationals have had under 2.5 goals scored in them and in this kind of game with so much at stake, this doesn't look like a game that's going to be full of goals, especially after the first leg. Denmark dominated possession in the first leg but just couldn't get the goal that would change this tie. Their away form in Group E saw them win three, draw one and a single defeat. Sis of their last nine games have had under 2.5 goals so it's no surprise that the tip here is for under 2.5 goals in this match.
