Poland vs Republic of Ireland Betting Tips

It’s the crunch game in Euro 2016 Group D qualifying action. It’s probable that only one of Republic of Ireland or Poland will automatically qualify, while the other will have to go through a playoff game. A draw would see Poland through on superior goal difference, but a win could keep the possibility of advancing as the group winner opener.

Poland have played well throughout the qualifying campaign. Lewandowski is a quality striker fast establishing himself as one of the best in the world. He scored early and late as Poland earned a hard fought 2-2 draw in Scotland on Thursday. It was no mean result against a desperate opponent.

Unfortunately for the Poles, Germany didn’t play ball losing to Republic of Ireland and keeping Poland’s Sunday night opponent in with a shout to qualify. After a relatively consistent and strong campaign, this club would be disappointed to have to battle through a playoff game. Still, they’re at their strongest on their home turf.

It was hardly a vintage performance from Republic of Ireland against Germany. They had just 28% possession defending extremely deeply. However, they rarely gave up quality chances against the World Champions and Shane Long’s 70th minute goal was enough to give the Irish a vital victory keeping their chances of automatic qualification alive.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Not buying into the win over Germany too much

It was a superb moment for Martin O’Neill’s men, who mostly deserved their three points. However, it should be taken with a grain of salt. They sat back, they battled, but ultimately they were one goal conceded away from their entire game plan spoiled.

2. Poland at home

They’re a strong side at home and the trip to Poland is a tough trip for any side. We don’t think Republic of Ireland will be able to control the pace there.

3. Lewandowski

He is the superstar game-breaking player in this game. Look for Lewandowski to strike and be a difference in this game.
