Ireland v Georgia World Cup Qualifier Odds

The Ireland v Georgia World Cup qualifier odds for this Ireland Georgia betting match has the Irish as slight favourites in this potentially tricky match. The Irish management squad of, Giovanni Trapattoni, Marco Tardelli and Liam Brady will recognise that this match is a potential banana skin and that they will do well to win or even draw. However they will be well pleased that the match has been moved to Mainz from Tblisi, due to the conflict with Russia; that is still ongoing in Georgia. It means that it is likely that there will be more Irish fans at the match, than Georgians, it will feel more like an away fixture for them. If that proves to be the case, then Ireland will be delighted to look at the Georgian away stats, where they will learn that they are a poor team when not in front of their own highly partisan fans. They proved this point in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, when they beat Scotland 2-0 at home but then went on to lose 4-1 against N Ireland in Belfast.

Georgia also beat a very weakened Welsh side a few weeks ago, which will give them and new national coach, Hector Cuper encouragement. They too were without several of their top players, so its possible that they are a better team than the their current FIFA ranking of 77 suggests. Ireland are in fact at number 38 in the rankings. Betting has Ireland 4/5, Georgia 5/4, draw 5/2.
