England vs Ireland – Prediction (Int. Friendly – 12.11.2020)

H2H: England vs Ireland – Comparison.

Still awaiting his first international goal since November 2019, Harry Kane is set for his 50th England cap. Only one of his last nine England goals has been a match opener. An opponent for Kane as recently as Nov 8, Callum Robinson closed the goals vs New Zealand (W 3-1) in his only prior goalscoring appearance for Ireland. His two prior league goals for West Bromwich Albion this term have come inside the first 25 minutes of play. Thirteen (56.52%) of England’s last 23 halves played during a friendly home win have seen them prevail 1-0.

England Insights.

Two old enemies meet for the first time since 2015, in what will be only the eighth recognised friendly match of all-time. England are on an equal footing in home friendlies (W1, D2, L1), but are strangely in negative goal difference territory across those matches (GF 4, GA 5), while the last three H2Hs halves have produced no goals at all. Four of England’s last six matches to be played behind closed doors have produced under 1.5 total match goals, with nine halves of 12 therein producing no goals from open play. Lacking composure lately, the ‘Three Lions’ have allowed the visiting side to open the scoring via the penalty spot in each of their two UNL home games held in October.

Ireland Insights.

September 1949 marks the last time Ireland won on English soil, and that record seems under little threat with Ireland winless in six matches (D4, L2). None of those six matches produced any first-half goals either way, and just one before the hour mark, while the two score draws each saw Ireland equalise beyond the 80th minute via a defender. Ireland haven’t beaten current FIFA top-100 opposition on foreign soil since October 2017, with a record of D7, L5 since. They trailed by an average margin of 1.60 goals by the hour mark across those five defeats, making it unsurprising to see that they last led at HT in any away game (excluding neutral venues) back in September 2016.
