Panama vs Ireland prediction

Panama reached the round of 16 back when they made their first appearance in this competition and are now looking to repeat the feat. Having been here before, those working behind the scenes will no doubt have the players well prepared off the pitch for such a big tournament. For the Republic of Ireland, this is a first and it will be intriguing to see how they get on.

Both should see this match-up as a good one for them to pick up three points, which is likely to be reflected in the sort of contest we could see, a fairly dynamic one with a fearless, youthful exuberance on both sides, especially from an offensive standpoint. Neither stand out as fairly strong teams defensively and backing both to score warrants serious consideration.
