Andorra v Republic of Ireland betting tips: Kenny eyes maiden success

However, Kenny’s outfit can be confident as they take on a team ranked 158th in the world and an Ireland victory with a clean sheet can be found at 4/7.

Andorra v Republic of Ireland head-to-head

Andorra have lost on four previous occasions against Ireland, failing to score in either of their two home matches but did find the net in two games on the road.

The last meeting came almost 10 years ago when Kevin Doyle and Aiden McGeady scored in the first half in Andorra la Vella during their Euro 2012 qualification to seal a 2-0 victory.

A repeat of that scoreline is priced at 4/1 while Ireland’s only other away match against Andorra came in March 2001 with a 3-0 success.

All four Irish triumphs have seen them lead at half-time and full-time, which is 3/5, while also winning by two or more goals (handicap of -1) in each of them and that is priced at 1/50.

Previous XI

Andorra: Gomes, San Nicolas, Llovera, Garcia, Alavedra, Martinez, Vieira, Vales, Cervos, Fernandez, Alaez.

Republic of Ireland: Bazuna, Coleman, Stevens, Clark, O’Shea, Doherty, Knight, Browne, Cullen, Collins, Robinson.

Key battles

Ireland’s Achilles heel under Kenny has been their lack of goals, scoring only four times in his 11 contests in charge.

Shane Duffy, Alan Browne, James McClean and James Collins are the lucky four to have notched international strikes and this fixture could represent an opportunity to get among the goals.

McClean is 7/1 to open the scoring and is 5/2 to find the net at any time in the match while Collins, who has left Luton for Cardiff this summer, is 13/5 to break the deadlock and 4/5 to get on the scoresheet.

Marc Pujol scored in Andorra’s last match – a 4-1 defeat to Hungary – and the 38-year-old forward is 28/1 to score first and 9/1 any time in the match.

Cristian Martinez, second on the all-time goalscoring list with four, is priced in the same markets at 22/1 and 15/2 respectively.
