Martin O’Neill will have a task on his hands to keep Uruguay quiet this weekend, given their barnstorming offensive options that have scored a lot of domestic goals this season.

Match Preview

The hosts, however, have failed to score in their last two matches ahead of our Ireland vs Uruguay preview. It won’t get any easier against La Celeste.

• Moldova 1-3 Republic of Ireland
• Austria 0-1 Republic of Ireland
• Republic of Ireland 0-0 Wales
• Republic of Ireland 0-1 Iceland

After firing blanks against both Wales and Iceland recently at home, the Boys in Green will be looking to try and make the most of playing a less defensively organised opponent.

The away team, meanwhile, travel very poorly, which is a huge factor in our Ireland vs Uruguay predictions. Oscar Tabares’ men last won on the road in 2015.

• Uruguay 2-1 Ecuador
• Chile 3-1 Uruguay
• Uruguay 1-4 Brazil
• Peru 2-1 Uruguay

Republic of Ireland vs Uruguay Prediction and Betting Advice

The visitors haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last five consecutive games, but have also found the back of the net in all of those games. The hosts will struggle to keep Edinson Cavani and company at bay.

According to our Ireland vs Uruguay picks, La Celeste should be confident of hitting the back of the net, but this contest shouldn’t be set up to be a thrilling and flowing occasion.
