The Republic of Ireland are in desperate need of three points against the Netherlands as the two teams gear up to collide in Dublin on Sunday. Following their 2-0 defeat to France on Thursday night, the Boys in Green have taken just three points from their opening four matches and their Euro 2024 qualification hopes look increasingly slim.
The Dutch, meanwhile, are coming into this game against Ireland on the back of a resounding 3-0 victory over Greece and they have recovered from a disappointing start to the campaign, which saw them lost 4-0 to France.

Team news & squads
Ireland team news
Stephen Kenny is boosted by the return of Matt Doherty, who missed the defeat against France through suspension. The Wolves wing-back will be in contention to start, either on the right or left side of the five-man defence.
Enda Stevens is a doubt for the game after picking up an injury in Paris, meaning James McClean or Doherty will come into the team. Brighton striker Evan Ferguson had to withdraw from the initial squad with a knee problem, so Adam Idah should continue in attack in his stead, particularly after Will Keane and Aaron Connolly suffered knocks against France.
Predicted Ireland XI: Bazunu; Collins, Duffy, Egan; McClean, Doherty; Cullen, Molumby, Browne; Ogbene, Idah.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Bazunu, Kelleher, Travers |
| Defenders: | Duffy, Egan, McClean, Collins, O'Shea, Lenihan, Omobamidele, Stevens, Manning |
| Midfielders: | Hendrick, Browne, Cullen, Molumby, Knight, McGrath, Smallbone |
| Forwards: | Idah, Connolly, Keane, Ebosele, Ogbene |
Netherlands team news
Memphis Depay and Sven Botman are notable absentees for the Netherlands, while Ryan Gravenberch was not called up to the senior panel. Nevertheless, the Dutch possess plenty of depth and alternative options in their positions.
Mark Flekken should continue in goal, while Virgil van Dijk will captain the team. Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo got on the scoresheet last time out against Greece so the attacking pair are expected to start, with Xavi Simons in support.
Predicted Netherlands XI: Flekken; Geertruida, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Roon, De Jong, Blind; Simons, Gakpo, Weghorst.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Flekken, Verbruggen, Noppert |
| Defenders: | Geertruida, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Ake, De Vrij, Hartman, Blind, Dumfries, Maatsen, Van de Ven |
| Midfielders: | Simons, Berghuis, Reijnders, De Roon, Veerman, Wieffer, Koopmeiners, De Jong |
| Forwards: | Gakpo, Weghorst, Lang, Malen |
Head-to-Head Record
While there is plenty of space between Ireland and the Netherlands in the FIFA world ranking right now, they are relatively close when it comes to a head-to-head record. In 20 meetings, the Oranje have won nine times, while Ireland have won seven. There have been four draws.
This game is the first competitive game between the sides since 2001, when a Jason McAteer goal was the difference and ensured that the Netherlands would not qualify for the 2002 World Cup.
