Ireland and New Zealand will clash in Dublin to conclude this international break that once again has seen both sides lose their most recent match.

Republic of Ireland vs New Zealand Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Republic of Ireland
It's been another qualifying campaign to forget for Ireland over in Europe, as they secured just two wins during their Group B Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, beating only Gibratlar. In fact, after a loss to the Netherlands last time out, Ireland have now played out all eight games and sit behind France in first by 15 points.
Regardless, they should still ease to a win against a weak New Zealand side.
Probable lineup: Bazunu (GK), Scales, Collins, O'Shea, Manning, Cullen, Browne, Doherty, Knight, Robinson, Ferguson
New Zealand
New Zealand are in a rut. They lost 2-0 to Greece last Friday, and this came off the back of drawing with DR Congo and losing to Australia, during which they failed to have a single shot on target.
In fact, with only a win over China to boast of in 2023, New Zealand have only one win in their past 10 games.
Probable lineup: Woud (GK), Cacace, Smith, Bindon, Bell, Garbett, Payne, Stamenic, Singh, McCowatt, Wood
Player to Watch: Evan Ferguson
Alongside a home win, Ferguson leads the way in our Republic of Ireland vs New Zealand prediction stakes. The Irishman has scored five goals this season in the Premier League and has three this calendar year for his country. What's more, at 6ft 2 in and with pace to burn, Ferguson continues to be a nightmare for defenders.
Against the likes of Tyler Bindon and Tommy Smith in the New Zealand defence, Ferguson could have a field day, as the defenders in the away side are struggling to perform at club level this season.
