[UEFA Nations League] England has beaten Ireland in their last two encounters, but the previous five meetings ended in draws.
The "Three Lions" bounced back impressively in the fifth round, defeating Greece 3-0 away to avenge their earlier 2-1 home loss. Lee Carsley’s side has now secured four wins in five group-stage matches, drawing level on points with Greece but claiming the top spot due to their superior head-to-head record.
To guarantee promotion to League A, England must win this decisive encounter. Any other result, coupled with a Greek victory in their parallel fixture, would send England into play-offs against a third-placed League A team for promotion.
Ireland, meanwhile, edged out Finland 1-0 at home in their previous match, claiming their second victory of this campaign — both against the Finns, who finished bottom of Group 2.
Managed by Heimir Hallgrímsson, Ireland avoided direct relegation to League C by securing third place in the standings. However, they cannot climb any higher and are set to face play-offs against a League C team to retain their League B spot.
Prediction: 3-0
