The last time these teams met was in November 2020, when England defeated their opponent 3-0 at home. Prior to this match, there were five consecutive draws between the teams, with four of those ending 1-1. Four games played in Ireland ended in a draw.

Ireland 

The Ireland national team continues to remain in the shadows of major international tournaments, making only occasional appearances. Over the past two decades, the “Greens” have only managed to qualify for the European Championships a few times, and World Cup appearances are almost non-existent. It’s no surprise that Ireland did not make it to Euro 2024, finishing second-to-last in their qualifying group.

In eight matches, the team secured only two victories, both against the weak Gibraltar team. They also failed to advance to the playoff stage through the Nations League. Recent months for Ireland have been filled exclusively with friendly matches, with results leaving much to be desired—only one win against Hungary (2-1), draws with New Zealand and Belgium (1-1, 0-0), and losses to Switzerland and Portugal (0-1, 0-3).

England

England still holds just one major trophy—the victory at the 1966 World Cup on home soil. Since then, the national team has struggled to reach the highest international level, but Gareth Southgate managed to build a team that, despite a pragmatic and cautious style of play, began to show results.

At Euro 2020, the “Three Lions” reached the final but lost to Italy in a penalty shootout. At Euro 2024, they again made it to the decisive stage but conceded a crucial goal at the end of the final against Spain, losing 1-2. This tournament was Southgate’s last as head coach, and now the team will be led by Lee Carsley, who will try to transfer his successful work with the youth team to the senior level.
