Match Preview
| Many will write this off as a foregone conclusion ahead of kick off, as UEFA’s second lowest ranked FIFA side, Gibraltar (#194) welcome the Republic of Ireland (#34) to Victoria Stadium. The nations previously met in the Euro 2016 qualifying group, and Ireland romped home in both legs with an 11-0 aggregated win over the two matches. |
| The creation of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) gave Gibraltar fans something to cheer about, as for the first time in the nation’s history as a FIFA member, they recorded their first-ever competitive victory – a 1-0 win away to Armenia. |
| The hosts have won just two competitive matches in their history, both in the UNL. Gibraltar maintain a terrible record (L20) across World Cup (WC) and Euro qualifying (-98 GD). Meanwhile, visiting Ireland were recently relegated from the UNL League B after a winless opening campaign (D2, L2). |
| Ireland have won just one of their last 11 games (W1, D5, L5 – in all competitions) whilst failing to score more than a single goal in any of their last ten matches outside of Ireland (W2, D4, L4). However, the last time they did so was in their last match against similarly ranked opposition as today’s hosts (1-3 vs Moldova: #170). |
| Players to watch: Joseph Chipolina wrote his name in Gibraltar’s history after scoring the winning goal in both of their competitive victories to date. |
| James McClean was Ireland’s top-scorer in their recent WC qualifying campaign with four goals, a third of their total tally – he also previously scored a brace in a qualifying match vs Gibraltar. |
| Stat attack: Gibraltar have conceded 31 goals across their last eight competitive home matches (3.88 per match average). |
| Three of Ireland’s last four matches have ended scoreless, although Gibraltar have not been involved in a goalless affair in three years to the day. |
| Mick McCarthy won 5-0 at lowly-ranked Lichtenstein in his opening competitive match in his first stint as Ireland manager. |
