James Wilson Updated: 10 Sep 24 10:24

Republic of Ireland will seek to pick themselves up from a disappointing defeat to England when they host Greece in the Nations League at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday night.

England were comfortable 2-0 winners in Dublin on Saturday evening as Ireland's Nations League B opener fell flat, whilst Tuesday's visitors Greece experienced markedly different fortunes as they dismantled Finland 3-0 at home.

You can get odds of 17/10 for Ireland to get the better of Greece in Dublin, with the away side priced at 9/5 to win the match.

Now managed by ex-Iceland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson, Ireland have won only one of their last seven internationals - a 2-1 victory over Hungary in a friendly in June - with a morale-boosting victory very much craved as the Greeks visit Dublin.

Greece are likely to travel to Ireland with confidence after a resounding 3-0 triumph over Finland to get their Nations League campaign off to the perfect start, with Ivan Jovanovic's side representing dangerous opponents for the Irish.

You can get odds of 15/4 for Greece to seal another convincing win by leading at both half-time and full-time at the Aviva.

With Ireland in need of a win to build confidence and a renewed sense of optimism amongst supporters, and Greece buoyed by a fine home victory over Finland, the meeting of these two sides in Dublin could prove an entertaining affair.

The Boys in Green have enough quality in their ranks to prevail at home, but may struggle to keep out a Greece side who have only failed to score in one of their last seven matches.

Ireland are priced at 6/1 to win in Dublin with both teams to score.

New Ipswich Town signing Sammie Szmodics could hold the key to Ireland's hopes of finding a way to goal against Greece, with the 28-year-old finishing as the Championship's top scorer last term after netting 27 times for Blackburn in England's second tier.

Szmodics is priced at 7/2 to score at anytime for Ireland against Greece.
