Friendly Fire: Republic of Ireland tend to be more attacking in non-competitive fixtures

"Six of Ireland's most recent eight home friendlies have gone Over 2.5 Goals and there's a big price on tonight's game with Switzerland going the same way"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.6213/8 in Republic of Ireland v Switzerland

Tobias Gourlay hopes to unlock some gold as Switzerland travel to the outer edges of western Europe

Republic of Ireland v Switzerland
Friday 19:45

Czech Republic 0 Scotland 1 in Prague last night. A shock for the Czechs and the same for us.

But it'll take more than that for us to lose enthusiasm about international friendlies.

Six of Ireland's most recent eight home friendlies have gone Over 2.5 Goals and there's a big price on tonight's game with Switzerland going the same way.

The Swiss played a couple of friendlies away from home at the tail end of 2015. They lost 3-2 in Slovakia before beating Austria 2-1.

Since 2012 6/7 of their friendlies on the road have produced Over 2.5 Goals and that's our value bet for today.
