France hosts the Republic of Ireland in Paris this Thursday. It’s a very important game for the guests, who must compensate for the loss against the Gauls in Dublin. The hosts, on the other hand, aim to win and continue their streak of positive results.
Before Betting on France vs. Republic of Ireland
The French team forgot about the loss in the World Cup. Mbappe and the crew bounced back swiftly, beating the Netherlands 4-0 in their first appearance following that event against Argentina. It was a message to all the rivals about their mental power.
Later on, Deschamps’ crew was better than the Republic of Ireland on the road, 0-1, and Gibraltar, 0-3 also away from home. Their only game in the qualifiers in Paris was against Greece, whom the Gauls defeated 1-0. As you can see, they try to take care of business without losing too much energy, often beating weaker teams by a one or two-goal margin.
The Republic of Ireland holds a grudge against France ever since Thierry Henry’s handball eliminated them from the World Cup playoffs back in 2010. It was really one of the biggest scandals in the past two, three decades. Still, the Irish team simply can’t get its revenge.
Ireland is in a nasty position because of their loss to Greece on the road, 2-1, and the only three points earned in the qualifiers were against Gibraltar, whom they beat 3-0. The next three games will be decisive for Stephen Kenny’s boys, and their rocky road starts now.

The Gauls are a far better team than Ireland, and we don’t need to explain why. Also, they are playing at home, where they rarely allow surprises, while Ireland struggles to display decent performances away from their soil.
