Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Betting Tips & Predictions
Friday | 18:45 UTC | Aviva Stadium, Dublin | International Friendly
The Republic of Ireland welcome Senegal to Dublin for a high-profile international friendly under the lights at the Aviva. Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side ended 2024 in poor form and face a stern test here against a Senegal side stacked with star power and form.
The Irish avoided Nations League relegation earlier this year with back-to-back wins over Bulgaria, but cracks remain. Just one win from their last five friendlies and a squad lacking firepower paint a worrying picture.
Senegal, on the other hand, have won 13 of their 17 internationals since the start of 2024. With Sadio Mané, Kalidou Koulibaly and Édouard Mendy still pulling strings and a new generation of European-based talent emerging, they arrive in Dublin as deserved favourites.
Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Betting Preview: Odds, Lineups, Stats
Mega Dice make Senegal 2.24 to win in 90 minutes, with Ireland at 3.10 and the draw priced at 3.35. Given the gulf in individual quality and form, the visitors offer value.
These two nations have never met competitively before. Ireland’s only win in their last five friendlies came against New Zealand.
Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Betting Preview: Players to Watch
Evan Ferguson remains Ireland’s great hope, but a goalless loan spell at West Ham has raised concerns, and he may lack service.
Sadio Mané continues to thrive in the Saudi Pro League. Palace’s Ismaila Sarr has also had a season to remember and is fresh off an FA Cup victory.
Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Predicted Lineups
Ireland: Bazunu; Coleman, Duffy, Collins; Doherty, Cullen, Knight, Brady; Ogbene, Idah, Ferguson
Senegal: Mendy; Sabaly, Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs; Pape Sarr, Camara, Gueye; Sarr, Mané, Dieng
Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Betting Tips & Predictions
✅ Both Teams To Score – 1.86
✅ Senegal To Win – 2.24
✅ Senegal To Win 2-1 – 8.50
Senegal have the experience, quality, and form edge here. With Ireland struggling in recent friendlies and reliant on ageing full-backs, expect the visitors to find space and make it count.
