Match Preview
| The Aviva Stadium hosts its first Euro 2020 qualifier match, as the Republic of Ireland (FIFA Rank: #34) welcome the second-lowest ranked side in Group D, Georgia (#91). Ireland opened their campaign with a workmanlike 1-0 victory over minnows Gibraltar (#194), a result that will give the Georgians belief they can trouble the Irish here. |
| If you want a thrill-a-minute, entertaining tiki-taka football, you may want to avoid this match – each of Ireland’s last five fixtures have produced under 1.5 goals. Moreover, Ireland have not won by more than a single-goal margin since October 2017, when they beat lowly Moldova (#170) 2-0 at home. |
| Some of the positivity around the Georgia camp following their unbeaten UEFA Nations League campaign came crashing down at the weekend, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in their opening qualifier. |
| However despite their lowly ranking, Georgia haven’t conceded more than a single goal in five of their last six competitive away trips to UEFA nations ranked similarly to Ireland (#19-#40). Georgia have certainly shown an ability to put in a strong away performance, and managed to contain a full-strength Wales squad (#19) in their last WC qualifying campaign (1-1). |
| Players to watch: Ireland’s James McClean has received a booking in five of his last seven appearances for club and country – he scored four goals in 11 matches during the last WC qualifying campaign. |
| Though ineffectual last time out, Vako had a hand in three of Georgia’s UNL goals (two goals, one assist). |
| Stat attack: Ireland have received nine bookings across their last three home matches. |
| Georgia boss Vladimir Weiss has held his own against Ireland in three of four managerial encounters (D3, L1) – all four produced under 2.5 goals. |
| Georgia didn’t win any match in their recent WC qualifying group (D5, L5), although one of those draws came against Ireland. |
