Ireland host Serbia in a Group A clash of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers at the Aviva Stadium. Ireland currently linger at fourth in the group standings while Serbia are on top of the ladder. The home side have managed to get just one point on board from four fixtures so far while the visitors have garnered a total of ten points on board from just four games as well. Ireland succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at Serbia in the opening game of the group before yet another 1-0 defeat to Luxembourg. The home side’s dismal run continued as they faced defeat against Portugal as well before getting their first point on board in the qualifying campaign after a 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan. Ireland are struggling to win games at home as they are winless for six straight games home across all competitions. It is also to be noted that they have managed to register just one win in their previous seventeen fixtures.

Serbia, on the contrary, are on a fine run of form. The visitors drew 2-2 with Portugal, defeated Azerbaijan and Luxembourg with 2-1 and 4-1 scorelines respectively after the 3-2 win over Ireland. Dragon Stojkovic’s men have lost just one game in their previous eleven fixtures and are undefeated in the current qualifying campaign. Serbia have only lost on a single occasion at eight away matches. The visitors also have a promising head to head record against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, winning the two games played between the two sides.
