This Wednesday also on viaplay.

How's the ticket sales going for this ?

Ireland v Latvia

RTE 2
Ireland v Latvia (Kick-off 7.45pm). All the action from the match at Aviva Stadium. The hosts will be looking for a morale boosting result ahead of their opening Euro 2024 qualifier on Monday here against World Cup runners-up France. 

The sides last met in 2013, when the Republic claimed a dominant 3-0 win thanks to goals by Robbie Keane, Aiden McGeady and Shane Long. Latvia will go into the match with confidence this time around after earning promotion from Group D of the UEFA Nations League, but Stephen Kenny's men should provide a considerably sterner test for them than Moldova, Andorra and Liechtenstein did.

Another in a line of minnows for friendly opposition. Nothing really to be gained from this other than giving the likes of Ferguson, Smallbone, and Johnson so game time. A win would be unremarkable, anything less is just another headache for Kenny.

Typical FAI decision.

To be fair there was only 6 possible opponents for us to face due to the 5 team groups.

Georgia, Ukraine, Albania, Estonia, Hungary or Latvia were the teams.

Georgia and Ukraine we played recently and Estonia had already arranged a friendly with Hungary so it really only left Albania or Latvia.

..and it was a fixture that was required to be fulfilled by UEFA.

Don't mind that line up. Glad Cullen is having a rest we need him against France. Hopefully Smallbone will be able to get forward to link with Ferguson and Obafemi and the WBs high as otherwise a 352 can be negative against an objectively poorer opposition when we struggle to break such teams down.

Don't think Omobamidele will play central CB.
