Bet Builder tips for Ireland vs England with huge 99/1 fourfold
Sports Journalist at FST, Gareth qualified as a journalist after graduating from university and spent over a decade as a freelance broadcast journalist, commentator and tipster before joining FST. Now living in Manchester, he is a long suffering Bolton Wanderers fan who also enjoys boxing, the NBA, tennis and rugby league.
It is the start of a new era for both the Republic of Ireland and England on Saturday as the two rivals and neighbours meet in a Nations League B fixture at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Heimir Hallgrímsson, who masterminded Iceland’s Euro 2016 win over England, takes charge of Ireland for the first time and the Three Lions return to action for the first time since Gareth Southgate departed after defeat in the final of Euro 2024, with Lee Carsley in the hot-seat on an interim basis.
I’ve covered the game in our dedicated Match Predictions section and have now looked at the player markets to put together this Bet Builder tip, opting for four big price options to build this 99/1 chance.

Republic of Ireland vs England Ultimate Bet Builder Tip
Trent Alexander-Arnold Anytime Assist
Trent Alexander-Arnold was shifted into midfield at the Euros but should be back in his regular full-back role on Saturday now Kieran Trippier has called time on his career and Kyle Walker isn’t in the squad. Alexander-Arnold has had a decent start to the season with Liverpool without recording an assist – but he has been creating chances. The 25-year-old has created three big chances so far, one fewer than the leaders in that particular statistic, and looks a decent contender for an anytime assist here.
Declan Rice To Commit 2+ Fouls
Declan Rice could well come in for a bit of stick from the home fans having switched allegiances from Ireland to England back in 2019. The Arsenal midfielder is averaging exactly one foul-per game in the Premier League so at a big price looks a good option to commit two or more fouls on Saturday. Rice perhaps has a point to prove after an coming in for some criticism for his displays in Germany over the summer and that may lead to a few big challenges and potentially a couple of fouls.
Sam Szmodics To Be Fouled 2+ Times
Ireland forward Sammie Szmodics has started two Premier League games for Ipswich since joining from Blackburn and has been fouled three times across those games. Szmodics is a player who tends to draw challenges and fouls and will try and make a nuisance of himself, so he looks a value pick to be fouled at least twice in Dublin.
Will Smallbone To Have 2+ Shots
Will Smallbone is a midfielder who isn’t afraid to try his luck and he could well have two or more attempts against England. The 24-year-old averaged 1.3 shots per-game for Southampton in the Championship last season and is averaging the same figure in the Premier League this term.
