Ireland take on five times World Cup winners Brazil in a friendly to be played at the unusual venue of The Emirates Stadium in North London; a choice of venue that has left many Irish folk dumbfounded. However, the match is to go ahead with live coverage to be shown in Ireland via RTE and is expected to attract a big crowd.
This will be Ireland’s first outing since being robbed of World Cup qualification glory at the hands of France, or more accurately at the hands of Thierry Henry back in November. It is Brazil however, who has been made favourites to win the match with odds of 4/9, Ireland are only given a 13/2 chance while the draw can be backed at 14/5 – These odds are available via paddypower
For Irish boss, Giovanni Trapattoni, it will be a chance to get a squad together that will ultimately be aimed at qualification for the Euro 2012. Ireland will start their qualification campaign for this tournament at the end of the year, but in the meantime, Trapattoni will be looking to ‘set his stall out early’ by playing as many friendlies as possible between now and then.

Brazil coach, Dunga will hope to have as many of his stars available for this match, it is thought that both Real Madrid maestro, Kaka and Sevilla top striker, Fabiano will be in the starting line up. Indeed, Kaka is a 6/1 bet with Paddy Power to score the opening goal of the game, while Ireland’s talisman, Robbie Keane is no better than 8/1 to beat the Brazilians to it.

Friendlies are not always the best games to bet on, however, because it is Brazil, there will be many Irish fans wanting to take them on, particularly after the injustices of their World Cup qualifying match with France. We think therefore that Ireland can spring a surprise here and although we do not think they will win, we would certainly not put anyone off backing the draw, probably even a score draw. We think that 2-2 draw does not look unlikely and with odds of 16/1 also with Paddy Power it would be a very tempting bet to be on.
