Our prediction: Republic of Ireland v Portugal

Republic of Ireland have nothing to play for, while Portugal need a win to take some pressure out of their final match.

Kenny’s men recorded 3-0 and 4-0 victories last time out against Azerbaijan and Qatar, in a friendly clash, respectively to prove there’s some life among the Irish squad.

However, Portugal are clearly a cut above in terms of quality and have the incentive to rack up a win here.

Our prediction: Republic of Ireland 0-2 Portugal (5/1 at bet365).
