Republic of Ireland u21 v Italy date, kick-off time, TV and Stream information, team news, betting odds and more

Ireland travel to Ascoli to take on Italy tomorrow in a huge U21 Euro 2023 qualifier.

The Boys in Green have already secured a play-off spot, but can guarantee a place in next years' European Championships with a victory over Italy today.

Ireland have never qualified for an U21 Euros', so a chance to make history beckons.

Oisín McEntee and Colm Whelan remain sidelined.

Quotes Corner

Jim Crawford on Mipo Odubeko

“When I saw him playing with the [West Ham Under] 23s, it was probably a part of his game that I questioned, in terms of closing people down and being a real nuisance to play against.

“But definitely at Doncaster he worked exceptionally hard, so I was delighted for him.

“I contacted him when he scored his first goal for Doncaster and I said, there are many more goals like that for you in your career, as long as you keep your head down, work hard and work smart.

“Before I even met Mipo, I got in touch with the Huddersfield manager, Carlos Corberan, and I said to him, ‘I know it didn’t work out for Mipo, tell me what his attitude was like around the place’.

“He said it was excellent and that, for me, sold it. Great, now we have another player who is willing to come in and to work hard with the 21s.

“It was good to get a little bit of feedback from a manager who worked with him when he wasn’t getting his own way, when he wasn’t getting competitive minutes.

“He had a lot of good things to say about him, which was refreshing.”
