Bet Builder tips for Ireland vs England with huge 99/1 quadruple

bdixlivetvSeptember 7, 2024

A new era begins for the Republic of Ireland and England on Saturday when the two rivals and neighbours meet in a Nations League B match at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Heimir Hallgrímsson, who masterminded Iceland’s victory over England at the 2016 European Championship, takes charge of the Irish national team for the first time. The “Three Lions” return to action for the first time since Gareth Southgate’s retirement following defeat in the final of the 2024 European Championship. Lee Carsley is temporarily in the hot seat.

I have the game in our special Match predictions and have now looked at the player markets to put together this Bet Builder tip, choosing four big price options to build this 99/1 chance.

Republic of Ireland vs England – Ultimate Betting Builder Tip

Trent Alexander-Arnold Assist anytime

Trent Alexander-Arnold was moved to midfield at the Euros but should return to his regular full-back role on Saturday with Kieran Trippier retiring and Kyle Walker out of the squad. Alexander-Arnold has had a decent start to the season for Liverpool, failing to provide an assist – but he has created chances. The 25-year-old has created three big chances so far, one fewer than the leaders in that statistic, and looks a good contender for an assist at any time here.

Declan Rice commits 2+ fouls

Declan Rice could face a little criticism from home fans after moving from Ireland to England in 2019. The Arsenal midfielder averages exactly one foul per game in the Premier League, so if he commits two or more on Saturday, he’s likely a good bet at a high price. Rice may have something to prove after being criticised for his performances in Germany over the summer, and that could lead to some big fouls and potentially a few fouls.

Sam Szmodics was fouled more than 2 times

Irish striker Sammie Szmodics has started two Premier League games for Ipswich since joining from Blackburn, and has been fouled three times. Szmodics is a player who likes to attract fouls and fouls and try to be a nuisance, so he is probably a good choice, as he will be fouled at least twice in Dublin.

Will Smallbone have 2+ shots?

Will Smallbone is a midfielder who likes to try his luck and he could well have two or more attempts against England. The 24-year-old averaged 1.3 shots on goal per game for Southampton in the Championship last season and is matching that figure in the Premier League this season.
