The home arena of the Irish team, where our national team will play their opening match of the 2022/2023 Nations League today, Aviva Stadium, has not been an impregnable fortress lately.

In the last ten matches at this stadium, the Irish have lost twice, drawn six times, and won only two games against their opponents, both victories coming in friendly encounters. So the difference between goals scored and conceded by the hosts of Aviva Stadium during this period is not impressive—9–6.

Interestingly, the wins over Dublin were taken home by familiar teams to us, Finland and Luxembourg.
