Ireland v Qatar.
Despite a win over Azerbaijan on the road, Stephen Kenny needs another win to ease the pressure on his stewardship of the Irish team – starting with Tuesday’s friendly against Qatar.
Ireland eased to a 3-0 win away to the Azeris on Saturday evening, with Callum Robinson and Chiedozie Ogbene handing Kenny’s side a deserved win in Baku.
Last time out against Qatar, Ireland drew 1-1 with Gulf State, as James McClean’s strike was not enough to help Kenny to his first win as Ireland manager on that occasion.
Tuesday’s game against Qatar in Dublin offers Kenny a chance to blood more of his young stars in a friendly environment, although they will have to do it without Seamus Coleman and Dara O’Shea who miss out through injury.
