Republic of Ireland v England betting tips and predictions

Bukayo Saka is on somewhat of a hot streak for Arsenal in the Premier League this season, either scoring or assisting in each of the first three fixtures of the 2024/25 campaign.

Saka is in such good form that we expect him to carry things from his club to his country, so our first pick is for the right-winger to score on Saturday afternoon.

Saka was great at the Euros for England too, playing off the right, and we expect Carsley to keep with that system and play the Arsenal attacker off the wing, rather than at left-back.

England were always defensively solid with Southgate in charge, and they'll be hoping that continues with Carsley now at the helm, even if only on a temporary basis.

We think England kick things off under their new interim boss with a real opportunity at keeping a clean sheet, with Ireland not the most prolific of national team sides that the Three Lions could have come up against.

So, with that being said, our second bet sees us predict that England keep a clean sheet against Ireland on Saturday afternoon.

As noted, we think England are going to keep a clean sheet, and we think Bukayo Saka is going to find the back of the net, but we're going to go one further and predict the scoreline.

Our team of analysts and experts are predicting a 2-0 away win for England tomorrow evening, a solid victory for Carsley and co in his first game in charge.

England are hoping for a big win, and many bettors will be too. You can add all of the picks listed above into an accumulator, as seen below.

ROI: Kelleher; Coleman, O'Shea, Collins, Brady; Ogbene, Browne, Smallbone, O'Dowda; Ferguson, Idah

England: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Maguire, Colwill; Rice, Mainoo; Saka, Eze, Gordon; Kane
