Avtomobilist – SKA, fourth match. This attempt may be the last
The Irish team did not qualify for Euro 2020. They reached the semi-finals of the qualifying round for the tournament, in which they disappointingly lost to Slovakia (0-0, 2-4 on penalties). However, after this, the “green army” began to retreat and lose positions in the world ranking.
The Irish had a very poor performance in qualifying for Euro 2024. In eight matches they only defeated Gibraltar (3-0 and 4-0). In all other matches the “green army” suffered defeats. As a result, he took the penultimate place in the national team’s group stage standings.
Due to unsatisfactory results, the Irish Football Association did not renew Stephen Kenny’s contract. Former Manchester United and Sunderland footballer John O’Shea has been appointed interim coach of the national team.
O’Shea knows the inner workings of the national team well, having been Kenny’s assistant since 2023. However, there is reason to believe that the former Manchester United player will not remain in this position for long. He previously only had experience as an assistant.

Belgium, on the other hand, is experiencing a rapid rise. After the failure at the World Championships in Qatar, she experienced a change of mentor. The position was taken by former Spartak Moscow coach Domenico Tedesco. The German specialist quickly restored order, although he had to sacrifice some things.
Tedesco named Romelu Lukaku captain of the national team, which hurt Thibaut Courtois. The goalkeeper quarreled with the coach and left the team. Domenico, under the pretext of injury, did not call up another Red Devils leader, Kevin De Bruyne, for the March training camp, although the Manchester City midfielder’s injury was minor.
Under the previous coach, Roberto Martínez, the Belgian team constantly had conflicts. Their leaders, particularly De Bruyne, were always dissatisfied with something and showed it openly. Tedesco decided to take, probably, the only correct path. He opted for Romelu Lukaku. So far he has fully justified himself.
The top scorer in the history of the Belgian national team set a record in the qualifying phase for the Euro Cup. He scored up to 14 goals and gave one assist. The Red Devils only lost points in the meetings with Austria (1-1) and Sweden (1-1).
The victory of the guests is accepted in bookmakers with an odds of 2.00. Even though this is a friendly match and the result is not as important as the quality of football and future development, this betting option seems quite viable. The Belgians are the clear favorites.
Under the leadership of John O’Shea, the “green army” has not yet played a single match. It is unlikely that the former Manchester United defender will be able to limit Romelu Lukaku’s free movement. The quality of the squad and the results of the Irish are much worse than those of the Red Devils.
Prediction and bets for the friendly match Ireland – Belgium March 23, 2024
The future of the Irish team is very uncertain. How John O’Shea will prove his worth as a mentor is anyone’s guess, but the first pancake often turns out to be lumpy. The Belgian team is constantly advancing under the direction of Domenico Tedesco. The Germans use resources very wisely. At Euro 2024, their players will surely impress with a strong performance.
Tender: Belgium wins in 2.00.
