UEFA Nations League
Wales vs Republic of Ireland
12:00 ET
Wales will have an excellent opportunity of potentially sealing their place at the top of Group 4 in League B when they lock horns with Ireland at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday. They are currently topping the group table with ten points and a win this weekend could seal their place at the top if second-placed Finland fail to secure all three points against Bulgaria on the same day.
The hosts are heading into this game on the back of a goalless draw with the young USMNT side on Wednesday. It was a good run in for Robert Page’s men, who faced a strong challenge against the youth exuberance and athleticism of their of rivals across the Atlantic. However, things could be a lot trickier when they face an Ireland side, who are much more experienced at the international stage.
The Irishmen didn’t have the best of starts to their international window so far, slumping to a 3-0 defeat to England in a friendly on Thursday. It was a game where Stephen Kenny’s men were completely outclassed as they failed to contain an English attack that was brimming with quality and talent.
But while it was only a friendly, the stakes could be a lot higher on Sunday when the Republic of Ireland take on Wales on Sunday. And here, at the Hard Tackle, we will run the rule over the two sides ahead of this exciting contest at the Cardiff City Stadium this weekend.
