Israel had a tough qualifying group, where the team had to fight against Germany and Poland. But Israel managed to take second place and get into the play-offs.
Ireland had a simpler group, with only Italy as a serious opponent, which took first place. The rest were clearly inferior in class.
Israel played an away draw in the first meeting, while the guests had to finish the meeting with one man down. At home, Israel plays more confidently, so we believe they have more chances to get to the Euro.
Our prediction: Israel 21 to qualify. We recommend the “Q1” bet, odds 1.58
