(expired)Trap’s Ireland Red Hot To Make It 3rd Time Lucky Over Cyprus

Giovanni Trapattoni’s Ireland are red hot 1/3 favourites with Paddy Power to make it third time lucky against Cyprus at Croke Park on Wednesday.

The boys in green will be hoping to erase the recent memory of a draw and a loss against the up and coming Cypriots.  A home win is vital to qualification, which at the moment remains unlikely according to the bookies who rate Ireland odds on at 1/3 not to qualify for the World Cup and 21/10 to get there.

Robbie Keane is favourite at 7/2 to lead from the front by scoring first and is just 12/1 to score a hat-trick.  The most likely scoreline according to the bookies as an Ireland win by 1 or 2 nil both rated at 5/1.

Paddy Power said, “The home draw to Cyprus was Stan’s last match in charge so there are definitely some demons to put to bed.  Punters are certainly full of confidence with over 90% of the bets on the game so far on a positive outcome for Ireland.  One thing’s for sure, considering our recent record against them, there’ll be no complacency in the camp!”
