Match facts

Ireland

  • Martin O'Neill has been defeated just once in his last 12 games in charge of the Republic of Ireland (W6 D5).
  • O'Neill's team secured a place in the European Championship by overcoming Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-offs, but Netherlands missed out after finishing fourth in their qualifying group.
  • The Boys in Green have scored four penalties in their last five internationals.
  • The Republic of Ireland haven't lost at home since May 2014, when they were beaten 2-1 by Turkey (W7 D4).

Netherlands

  • This will be the first international between the two nations in almost 10 years - the Netherlands won 4-0 at Lansdowne Road in August 2006.
  • The Netherlands have not won back-to-back internationals since the World Cup in June 2014.
  • Ten of the last 11 international goals for Oranje have been scored by different players.
  • Netherlands have been boosted by the return of Kevin Strootman, who is set to make his first international appearance since March 2014.

Predictions

This is like a 50/50 chance for the two teams but with Ireland’s form in the past 2 months compared to the Dutch team, they have a slight advantage.

The Irish side will also want to test their squad depth in preparation for the Euro competition while the Dutch are just playing for pride and FIFA ranking.

Final Score – 2 : 1
