England v Norway Prediction
Ireland v Bosnia-Herzegovina betting odds at Paddy Power
Ireland 8/11, Draw 23/10, Bosnia-Herzegovina 4/1
Ireland’s Robbie Keane is the favourite in the First Goalscorer market as it is, priced at 9/2 with Paddy Power, so the coverage from the money back special is well worth taking here. Ireland’s last match was a home international friendly, where they fought out a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic. This match up against the Bosnians, who they have never met before at full international level, will be a good test for Ireland ahead of their opening fixture at Euro 2012. Ireland kick off their European Championship campaign against Croatia on June 10th, and so with the technical similarities of Bosnia-Herzegovina to Croatia, this will be a good sounding board for Trapattoni to gauge just what is to come. Ireland are in a group along with Spain and Italy as well, and will have their work cut out for them, in order to make it to the knock-out stage. That is why getting a win against Croatia in their opening match is going to be so very important for them.
Ireland are weakened at the back, as Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger and John O’Shea will all be missing from defence. They will sit this one out as their fitness is going to be tested ahead of Euro 2012. But with the tournament right around the corner, Trapattoni needs to have a good look at his back up plans, and Ireland v Bosnia-Herzegovina betting is important. Can the Irish pull off a confidence boosting win? We know that we are going to get passion and determination from them, and a 1-0 Correct Score win for the Ireland is trading at 9/2 with Paddy Power, and of course that will be covered by the Money Back Special. Ireland do what they do best, work hard and try to rattle the opposition. There is no pretence about their play, they simply stick to their strengths and will be relishing the underdog title in their group. This match will be a big step in overcoming those future obstacles at Euro 2012. Bosnia just missed out on qualification for Euro 2012, losing to Portugal in the play-offs.
