"Martin O'Neill's men recently completed 1-0 qualifying wins over Georgia and Germany, but their record still only says five clean sheets in those 16 competitive home games"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 2.206/5 in Republic of Ireland v Bosnia

Irish eyes might be smiling in the end, but Tobias Gourlay's not sure the Republic will have it all their own way against Bosnia

At least Raul's happy. The Cosmos went intergalactic and beat Ottawa 3-2 in last night's NASL Championship game.

Kev will continue shooting for the stars next week. In the meantime, we're over the moon about some of the prices on goals in tonight's Euro 2016 playoff second leg in Dublin.

The Republic of Ireland have scored in 15/16 competitive home games since 2010. After last week's 1-1 draw in Zenica, a goalless draw would actually be good enough for tonight's hosts to progress to France next year, but Bosnia bring a significant goal threat that can easily ruin the best-laid defensive plans.

Martin O'Neill's men recently completed 1-0 qualifying wins over Georgia and Germany, but their record still only says five clean sheets in those 16 competitive home games.

Bosnia have struck seven times in their last three Group B away games. Since a 1-0 defeat in Spain in 2008, the Dragons have scored at least once on the road in 16/21 qualifiers - and at least twice in 11/21.

Tonight, the heat will be on that Irish defence.
