Republic of Ireland v Cyprus Odds

The Republic of Ireland v Cyprus Odds for this Republic of Ireland Cyprus betting European Group eight World cup qualifying match has the Irish as clear favourites to record their second win in the Group. Cyprus however should not be underrated, although only securing one point so far in the Group from their two games played, Cyprus were only narrow 1-2 losers to World Champions, Italy and they then held Georgia to a 1-1 draw away last weekend.

The Irish Manager, Giovanni Trappatoni will make sure his side are well motivated for this match, he will know that in the scheme of things this is a must win home match, any other outcome could have disastrous consequences for his sides qualification hopes. He will also know that a win will be a huge boost and will keep his team in second spot in the group at least until the next round of matches in March 2009.

Trappatoni will be pleased to welcome back Newcastle's, Damien Duff, he missed their last two matches with a knee injury and he will be a vital addition to the starting line up on Wednesday. Robbie Keane will Captain the team and will be hoping for a return to his proven goal scoring ways. He has played well since joining Liverpool from Spurs in the summer, but his usual reliable goal getting has been missing. Ireland are 1/3 to win the match, Cyprus are 9/1 and the draw can be backed at around 7/2. Robbie Keane is the same price (7/2) to be first goal scorer. We quite like the look of the 14/1 odds with Paddypower for a 1-0 win for Ireland and would recommend a small punt.
