The striker got injured while preparing for the game. In his stead, Joel Lindpere will be returning from retirement. Their opponents from Ireland will also have some issues with the offensive part of the team as Kevin Doyle's being out of the game due to being punished for his attitude in previous games. The other two attackers Shane Long and Leon best are also out of the game, injured. This is by no means a desperate situation for Eire, however, as their top goal scorer Robbie Keane is still in great health and ready to hit the Estonian net.The game history of both Estonia and Ireland are very different and certainly Ireland seems like the obvious winner. After all, their adversaries have failed to keep a clean net during the qualification round, including against the Faroe Islands. Ireland, on the other hand, have conceded just one goal when Armenia scored in the last qualifying match of the tournament. Looking back to the previous clashes between the two teams, Ireland has a 100% win rate. They won both previous games with 2:0. The odds get even more dangerous once we check Ireland's last nine internationals and see that they've all been won by the green team.
