England – Ireland (AH under 3.0 goals) 1.68

FAQ: Football, UEFA Nations League. The prediction suggests that there will be a maximum of 2 goals in the match, with the stake returned in case of 3. Recommended stake (bankroll): 1%.

Reasoning: Now that England has almost mathematically clinched their group, they’ve sent several key players to rest after the victory against Greece. These include: Alexander-Arnold, Colwill, Rice, Mainoo, Palmer, Foden, Saka and Grealish. If we also take into account some existing injuries such as: Maguire, Stones, Shaw, Trippier, Chilwell, Henderson, Rashford and C. Wilson; we can see that their entire starting lineup will be missing! In their place, the squad will include 4 absolute newcomers + 10 players with less than 10 international appearances in total! This could most notably cause obvious disorientation and chaos in the midfield and offensive line, so many goals from England are not expected. Especially if Kane (their top striker) is rested again, having only played for about half an hour last time. Apart from him, only Bellingham may be on the pitch from their main squad, but he’s not having a good season so far, with only 1 goal in the new season. England may struggle, but at the same time, Ireland doesn’t have much offensive potential. They have scored only 3 goals in 5 matches, all against Finland. Against England’s substitute defense, they might score, but I don’t expect a goal fest. Especially since for example: Brady (top scorer, defender), Bowne (most promising midfielder), C. Robinson (best striker) and Idah (striker) won’t be playing. Instead, young players will start in their attacking positions. My prediction: 1-0
