Republic of Ireland national football team take on the visitors Denmark national football team at the Aviva Stadium in the Round 3 of the UEFA Nations League Group B. The match will be played in Dublin on Saturday, October 13th.
There are a lot of problems in the squad of Republic of Ireland national football team at the moment. The overall atmosphere in the team is not the best. In the Round 1 of the UEFA Nations League Group B they were demolished by Wales national football team with a 1-4 score and looked very bad. However, the Boys in Green were able to draw against Poland national football team with a 1-1 score in a friendly international fixture after that. The brightest positive about them in their previous games has been their offensive line. Talking about their upcoming match against Denmark national football team it`s interesting to note that exactly the Tin Soldiers beat the Republic of Ireland national football team in order to get to the main stage of the World Cup 2018. Thereby the team of Martin O`Neill will be very motivated to win in the upcoming fixture. On the other hand, it will be extremely hard for them to actually win but they will have a home crowd advantage to do that. Even though the Green Army are levels behind the Danes at the moment they could easily score at least one goal on Saturday. In their last three matches Republic of Ireland national football team drew against Poland national football team with a 1-1 score in a friendly international fixture, lost to Wales national football team with a 1-4 score in the Round 1 of the UEFA Nations League Group B and beat United States national football team with a 2-1 score in a friendly international fixture.

Unlike Republic of Ireland national football team the Danish Dynamites had no problems in their match against Wales national football team and beat them with a 2-0 score in front of their home crowd. However, before that game they lost to Slovakia national football team with a 0-3 score in a friendly international fixture. Interestingly, the Danes changed their squad a lot for that fixture so it was not that surprising to see them lose. The team of Age Hareide looked really good at the World Cup last summer and was knocked out of there only in the 1/8-finals of the tournament. It`s worth noting that they lost none of the normal times of their four games they had there and conceded only two goals overall. The Tin Soldiers allowed goals in only four of their last eleven fixtures. In their last three matches Denmark national football team beat Wales national football team with a 2-0 score in the Round 2 of the UEFA Nations League Group B, lost to Slovakia national football team with a 0-3 score in a friendly international fixture and to Croatia national football team in a penalty shootout in the 1/8-finals fixture of the World Cup.
Republic of Ireland has no other choice than to go fully offensive against Denmark national football team in front of their home crowd in the upcoming fixture. Thereby it will be very hard for the Danish Dynamites to continue their winning streak in the UEFA Nations League Group B. However, if the Boys in Green actually decide to show an open playing style they will risk conceding several goals and will let their opponents to feel comfortable on the field. Seeing all of that it is likely that the team of Michael O`Neill will try to play safe in the defense and to use their counterattacks on Saturday. It`s worth noting that overall the Irish rarely score zero goals in their home games. It would be no surprise to see a draw in the upcoming fixture but the Green Army should score at least once anyway.
Prediction for the match: Republic of Ireland national football team to score over 0.5 goals.
