Ireland and Gibraltar resume their quest for a place in the 2024 European Championship when they square off at the Aviva Stadium on Monday (June 19).
The hosts failed to get their quest for a place in Germany back on track, as they fell to a 2-1 loss to Greece last Friday. Before that, Stephen Kenny’s men fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat to France in their group opener in March.
Ireland head into the game needing all three points to keep their hopes of a place in Germany alive, as they are yet to open their account and trail second-placed Greece by six points.
Trending
Meanwhile, Gibraltar were left empty-handed once again, as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against France in their previous qualifying game. Los Llanis have now lost their three qualifiers, conceding nine goals without scoring.
Gibraltar, who have lost their last six competitive games since June 2022, are ranked 201st in the FIFA world rankings.
