Republic of Ireland Preview – Can Irish set record straight?
An extremely disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at Armenia saw Republic of Ireland make a losing start to their Nations League campaign and they now return to home soil at their Aviva Stadium no doubt looking to produce a positive response.
However, although they hold home advantage, Republic of Ireland are not guaranteed success despite being unbeaten in their preceding eight games overall, especially as the Irish have won just two out of their last 11 games on home soil.
Ukraine Preview – Can Ukraine pick themselves up?
The recent 1-0 loss away at Wales in the World Cup qualifier play-off would have been a bitter pill for Ukraine to swallow but the bigger picture shows that the visitors have suffered just this one defeat out of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
This sequence of results gives Ukraine a decent chance of opening their account in this Nations League opener and having registered wins against Finland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Scotland in recent times, the visitors will feel they have a good opportunity to bounce back with a win in this one.
