England 5-0 Republic of Ireland

Current streaks

Recent form

England

England have displayed a mixed but generally positive form in their recent fixtures. The Three Lions have won four out of their last six matches, including an impressive three-game winning streak in their most recent UEFA Nations League outings. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 12 goals in six games, averaging 2 goals per match. Defensively, England have been solid, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. Notably, two-thirds of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring affairs. However, England's consistency has been somewhat lacking, as they suffered two losses in this period, including a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Spain in the European Championship. Despite these setbacks, England's current form suggests they are building momentum, particularly in the UEFA Nations League where they've won their last three matches convincingly.

Republic of Ireland

The Republic of Ireland's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins and four losses. Notably, they experienced a concerning run of three consecutive defeats before bouncing back with a win against Finland in their most recent fixture. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in their last six matches, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have also faced challenges, conceding 10 goals during this period, with an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. Their goal difference of -7 reflects their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. While there were no particularly high-scoring games, the 3-0 loss to Portugal stands out as their heaviest defeat. On a positive note, Ireland managed to keep a clean sheet in their latest victory against Finland, which could potentially boost their confidence moving forward.

Recent home/away form

England

England's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Three Lions have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, averaging just one goal per game during this period. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding 0.83 goals per match and keeping two clean sheets. Low-scoring affairs have been a trend, with 67% of these games seeing under 2.5 goals. England's most recent home match resulted in a disappointing 2-1 loss to Greece in the UEFA Nations League, breaking a four-game unbeaten run at home. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, it's worth noting that both teams have scored in half of these matches, indicating some vulnerability in England's defence despite their generally low goals conceded average.

Republic of Ireland

The Republic of Ireland have displayed inconsistent form away from home in their recent matches, with a pattern of alternating wins and losses in their last six outings. Their away record shows two victories against four defeats, indicating a struggle to maintain consistency on the road. Defensively, Ireland have conceded an average of 1.5 goals per game, while their attacking output stands at just one goal per match. A notable high-scoring game was their impressive 4-0 victory over Gibraltar in the Euro Qualifiers, which also marked their only clean sheet in this run. However, they've also suffered some heavy defeats, including a 3-0 loss to Portugal in a friendly. The team's goal difference of -3 further underscores their challenges away from home. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 17% of these matches, suggesting that when Ireland lose, they often fail to find the net.
