Reeling from a deep run at another major tournament without lifting the trophy, England begin life after Gareth Southgate as they travel to meet the Republic of Ireland in UEFA Nations League play on Saturday.

England reached the final of the European Championship over the summer, but fell just short as they were beaten by Spain in the title match. It resulted in Southgate, who had steered the nation to a World Cup semifinal just two years prior, to step down.

With the manager position now vacant, Lee Carsley has been tabbed to lead the side for the foreseeable future in an interim role.

Ranked 58th in the world, the Republic of Ireland sport an extremely young and inexperienced squad as new head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson looks towards the future of the federation. The likes of Shane Duffy, Josh Cullen, Enda Stevens, and Gavin Bazunu have been left off while Kasey McAteer and Evan Ferguson are in the mix.

Republic of Ireland vs. England prediction, odds

  • Moneyline lean: England (-200)
  • Score prediction: Rep. of Ireland 0-2 England

With Gareth Southgate no longer around, it’s hard to know how England will look. Under the former boss, they were extremely conservative, often to the point of angering the supporter base. Yet with his former assistant in charge, it can be reasonably assumed that there will be few drastic changes at this stage.

Jude Bellingham is injured while Phil Foden and Cole Palmer withdrew to nurse knocks, so the England attack is stunted a bit, but this is a deep Three Lions team that should have no problems shrugging off a weaker opponent.

Republic of Ireland vs. England best bet

  • Pick: England win to nil
  • Odds: +115 (BetMGM)

While this should be a low-scoring affair between two sides with limited attacking units, there’s little value in the under which the market has already accounted for.  Instead, back England to proceed with relative caution, as the Gareth Southgate fingerprints are likely to linger in some capacity until a permanent boss takes the reins for himself.

The Republic of Ireland will be defending in bunches, and England are not terribly prone to opposition counter-attacks with Declan Rice in the middle. The Irish have been blanked in three of their last four matches, held off the scoresheet by Portugal, Switzerland, and Belgium.


Republic of Ireland vs. England prop bet

  • Pick: Bukayo Saka to score or assist
  • Odds: +100 (FanDuel)

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been a creative machine to start the season for Arsenal, with a goal and three assists through just three Premier League matches. His role with the national team has grown as well, in spite of Gareth Southgate’s shackles.

With the conservative manager departed, and the likes of Bellingham, Palmer, and Foden all absent, Saka should be a main source of goal scoring threat, and even money odds present strong value.
