THE REPUBLIC of Ireland return to action on Tuesday as they face Luxembourg, looking to extend their unbeaten run to four matches.
After an encouraging 1-1 draw against Senegal on Friday, Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side will aim to build momentum with another strong performance as preparations continue for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers starting in September.

Luxembourg vs Ireland predictions
Optimism is growing that manager Heimir Hallgrímsson can guide the Boys in Green to their first World Cup finals since 2002.
Under the Icelandic coach, Ireland have shown clear signs of progress. While they face a tough qualifying group featuring Portugal, Hungary, and Armenia, a second-place finish – and the accompanying play-off spot – is seen as a realistic target.
Back-to-back wins over Bulgaria secured Ireland’s place to Nations League B, and those results were followed by an encouraging 1-1 draw against Senegal on Friday night.
Kasey McAteer marked his first start in a green shirt with a 21st-minute goal. Both sides created chances, but it was Senegal’s superior quality in the final third that told, as substitute Ismaila Sarr finally found a way past Caoimhin Kelleher in the 82nd minute.
On the balance of play, the visitors probably merited a draw to maintain their unbeaten run. Still, Ireland can take plenty of positives from a strong display against an in-form Senegal side.
A win over Luxembourg is no longer the formality it once was. In their last outing, the Red Lions fell just short in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Slovenia on Friday, with Tamar Svetlin scoring the only goal just before half-time.
That result marked Luxembourg’s first home loss in three matches. While Luc Holtz’s side have struggled for overall consistency, recent performances at the Luxembourg Stadium suggest they are no pushovers on home soil.
In March, they claimed an impressive 1-0 win over Sweden in a friendly, and last November, they came from two goals down to earn a hard-fought Nations League 2-2 draw against Northern Ireland.
Luxembourg vs Ireland betting tips
Heimir Hallgrímsson will be keen to maintain the momentum his side has built in recent outings and avoid a setback on the road against Luxembourg. While this fixture presents its challenges, Ireland head into the match as favourites to win. Our Luxembourg vs Republic of Ireland match betting tips are below:
Ireland to win
Luxembourg may have managed a win and a draw in their last three home games, but their overall form remains inconsistent. That includes their disappointing loss to Slovenia on Friday night.
In contrast, Ireland appears to be on an upward trajectory. If the Boys in Green can replicate the level of performance they showed in Friday’s 1-1 draw with Senegal, there’s every reason to believe they can secure another win at the Luxembourg Stadium.
Ireland ran out 3-0 winners on their last visit in November 2021. While a repeat of that scoreline may be unlikely, Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side should still have enough quality to get the job done.
Back Ireland to win at evens with SBK
Troy Parrott to score anytime
After missing out on a starting role against Senegal due to illness, Troy Parrott is expected to return to the lineup against Luxembourg.
The 23-year-old is coming off a standout season with AZ Alkmaar, where he netted 20 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions.
With Heimir Hallgrímsson looking to get his in-form striker more comfortable at international level, backing Parrott to score anytime here looks like a smart bet.

Both teams to score
We know that Luxembourg have their issues in front of goal, but Ireland have their own problems at the back.
The Boys in Green have conceded in eight of their last nine matches. Furthermore, the hosts have scored in four of their last six matches and in two of their last three at home.
No in this market is the favourite at 8/13. We think it’s worth a small wager on yes at odds against, especially given Ireland’s recent defensive record.
Back both teams to score at 6/5 with bet365
