Ireland 5/1 To Beat 5 Time World Champions Brazil

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ireland face a big challenge in the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night when they face the five-time World Champions Brazil.

Brazil, who are currently ranked number 2 in the FIFA rankings, are 1/2 favourites to win the friendly, while Ireland, desperate to forget their controversial elimination from the World Cup, are rated 5/1 shots by William Hill to win the game. The draw is available at 12/5.

Flamengo striker – Adriano is the 4/1 favourite to score the first goal for the Brazilians, while Kevin Doyle is a 10/1 shot to give the Irish an unlikely lead.

Team News: Brazil go into the game with a near full strength squad, but Ireland will be without their talismanic captain Robbie Keane who picked up a knee injury during Celtic’s 1-0 loss to Rangers on Sunday.

William Hill’s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny said “Brazil are one of the favourites to win the World Cup, but they won’t get an easy ride against the Irish.” He continued “The Irish squad are still hurting from their controversial elimination from the World Cup, and they’ll be eager to show the World that they deserved to go to South Africa.”

WILLIAM HILL HAND BACK CASH ON IRISH WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION BETS

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL are refunding stake money to all punters who backed Republic of Ireland to qualify for the final stages of the World Cup following the controversy over the Thierry Henry goal which knocked them out. Hills will also be paying out on bets for the French to go through.
‘Leaving aside any moral scruples and the fact that noone knows what would have happened if the goal had been disallowed, William Hill feel that they are being as fair as possible to everyone by returning stake money to those who bet on the Irish going through’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’It will cost us a significant five figure sum’.
IRISH 100/1 TO GET WORLD CUP REPLAY

WILLIAM HILL offer 100/1 that FIFA will order the Republic v France World Cup game to be replayed. ‘There are two chances that this will happen – slim and none’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**William Hill were the first bookmakers ever to make a gesture of this nature when, in 1986, they ‘disallowed’ Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal for Argentina against England and refunded stakes to punters.
REPUBLIC ARE 5/4 WITH WILLIAM HILL TO QUALIFY FOR EURO ’12; AND 2/1 TO QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP 2014.
