Ireland come into the match with the strong reference point of a 3-0 victory over Israel on September 27, achieved through rapid runs in behind the défense.
Read the full analysisIreland come into the match with the strong reference point of a 3-0 victory over Israel on September 27, achieved through rapid runs in behind the défense. However, their advantage is tempered by the neutral venue behind closed doors, fatigue, and several defensive absences; the outcome will depend in particular on Israel’s ability to prevent balls in behind.
Ireland lost 0-1 in Kosovo on September 24, beat Israel 3-0 on September 27, then drew 2-2 with Austria on October 1. Israel lost 1-3 to Austria on September 24, lost 0-3 to Ireland on September 27, then drew 0-0 with Kosovo on October 1.
Both teams therefore played three matches in seven days. No consistent and reliable dataset for xG, shots, or pressing has been established.
The recent documented meeting is Israel 0-3 Republic of Ireland, on September 27, 2026, in the Nations League, in Debrecen. Ireland scored three times in the first half.
This precedent shows concrete solutions in behind, but its prédictive valeur remains limited by possible changes to goalkeepers, defenders, lineups, and the neutral venue.
Gavin Bazunu is not taking part in the match for personal reasons, not because of an injury. James Abankwah is suspended; Dara O’Shea did not travel for family reasons.
Daniel Peretz is reported likely to be out with a groin injury, but this information has not been confirmed by the Israeli federation. Sayed Abu Farchi is reported suspended after being sent off against Austria.
The lineups and any potential new absences remain unknown.
The match belongs to Group B3 of the 2026-27 Nations League, on October 4, 2026. Ireland are nominally the home team, but the game is due to be played at the TSC Arena in Bačka Topola, Serbia, behind closed doors: kickoff time to be confirmed.
Favorable scenario for Ireland: their runs and passes behind the Israeli défense reproduce the mechanism of the 3-0 win. Opposite scenario: Israel closes down the space in behind, exploits a reshuffled Irish défense, and benefits from fatigue as well as the lack of home advantage.
