Tip and bets

1.85both will score

Italy looks very strong in the last matches, and in the selection as a whole, which is not surprising - almost all the players are the main players in their clubs, playing in Serie A and elite European championships. At home, the Italians are unlikely to sit back in defense and Ireland has a minimum chance of playing to zero, but at the same time, the Irish have scored in 14 matches in a row, today they need points like air - an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.

We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
