Trapattoni has named ten of his starting line up but is yet to decide who will start out on the wing, Liam Lawrence or Aiden McGeady. Damien Duff was considered a doubt but he starts, as does Robbie Keane and Kevin Doyle up front. For France Jeremy Toulalan misses out with a groin injury whilst Real Madrid star Karim Benzema will make do with a place on the bench as he is behind Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka and Andre-Pierre Gignac in the striking pecking order.
Republic Of Ireland v France Betting Odds
Despite being favourites, France don't look a good bet away from home, they won just two qualifying games away from home and they were meagre 1-0 wins against Faroe Islands and Lithuania. That form won't be good enough against Ireland and Ireland should be backed 11/5 with Ladbrokes and Coral and they should also be backed with the draw as no bet, that is an even more confident selection at 6/5 with Coral. Ireland don't have too many high scoring games and France haven't scored many away goals so back under 2.5 goals at 8/15 with Paddy Power and SkyBet as well as 1-0 to Ireland which is 7/1 with Boylesports and William Hill.
Republic Of Ireland v France Tips
Robbie Keane scored more goals in qualifying than any other French player and he is rated as the most likely scorer on Saturday. The bookies don't quite agree which is why you can get the generous price of 7/1 with Coral that Keane scores first and that has to be the bet of the game. Interestingly you can get 35/1 with Bet365 on a Robbie Keane 1-0 scorecast and that looks a great bet with a potentially big return!
