Prediction: 0-4
Ireland
David faces Goliath at Estadio Algarve as Gibraltar and Republic of Ireland take on each other in the Euro 2024 qualifier on Monday. The Boys in Green aim to recover from a heart-breaking 2-0 loss to Greece and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the rock-bottom side. Defender Ryan Manning is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in Friday’s defeat, as well as Norwich City forward Adam Idah.
Gibraltar, on the other hand, have been serving as a cannon fodder for their rivals in Group B and given their 0-17 goal difference, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Earlier in the process Republic of Ireland defeated Gibraltar 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The good news for the hosts is that veteran defender Roy Chipolina has overcome his injury.

Highlighted Team (Gibraltar):
Gibraltar played their first unofficial match against Jersey in the 1993 Island Games. The Gibraltarians suffered a 2-1 loss to Jersey, but they did well to hold Slovakia to a goalless draw in their first official international match. Gibraltar participated in the 2016 World Cup qualifiers and they were drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Poland, Georgia, Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
They failed to impress on their debut in the World Cup qualifiers and it has to be noted that the minnows suffered a loss in each of their ten group games (goal difference 2:56). Gibraltar recorded their first ever win against Malta on April 6, 2014 and that is considered the team’s biggest success.
