Game Analysis

  • This is priced as a comfortable favourite. Ireland is the shortest price on a book of 1.95 / 3.4 / 4 (1 / X / 2), an implied 48.5%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 48.5% / 27.8% / 23.7% on an overround of 5.7%.

  • The draw is unusually well backed at 3.4 (27.8%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

  • Ireland team news: James Abankwah is ruled out after reaching the yellow card limit.

  • Ireland team news: Gavin Bazunu has opted not to be considered for the match with Israel.

  • Israel team news: Anan Khalaili will undergo assessments for Israel following a knock sustained versus Kosovo.

  • Israel team news: The visiting team will be without striker Idan Toklomati for their trip to Gradski Stadion.

  • Ireland are without 5 — Mason Melia (Out - injured), Nathan Collins (Out - injured), Jamie McGrath (Out - injured), Harvey Vale (Out - injured), Gavin Bazunu (Out - other).

  • Israel are without 2 — Anan Khalaili (Doubtful - injured), Idan Toklomati (Out - injured).

  • Early lineups are in: Ireland set up 3-4-2-1 against 3-4-2-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.

  • Ireland lean hardest on Caoimhín Kelleher (8.1), Jayson Molumby (8.1), Dara O'Shea (8.1) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Israel lean hardest on Eliel Peretz (7.5), Manor Solomon (7.5), Idan Nachmias (7.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Anan Khalaili is out for Israel — index 8.3, against 8.9 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

  • The projected score for this one is Ireland 3 - 0 Israel, a home win by 3 with 3 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Ireland at 1.95 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it.
