Analysis & Previews

Ireland know they need to beat Switzerland in Wednesday's last World Cup qualifier and have a chance of reaching next year's finals in Germany. Ireland are one of four teams still in contention for first or second place in Group Four. Victory over the Swiss would guarantee Brian Kerr's side a playoff spot and, if France fail to beat Cyprus, would be enough to win the group. But need a much improved performance after made heavy weather of Saturday's 1-0 away win over Cyprus, which came courtesy of an early goal by Stephen Elliott, and goalkeeper Shay Given's outstanding performance where he saved Yianniakis Okkas's penalty and withstood sustained pressure from an attacking Cyprus side. They will be without Chelsea winger, Damien Duff who has sustained a knee injury but will welcome back defender Gary Breen after a knee injury as well as striker Clinton Morrison and midfielder Andy Reid following suspension. Manchester United's Roy Keane who is out with a broken foot.

Following their impressive 1-1 draw at home to France on Saturday Switzerland can virtually guarantee top spot in European qualifying group four and an automatic berth at next year's finals in Germany by beating the Irish at Lansdowne Road. Unbeaten in 12 games, coach Koebi Kuhn's men will be on something of a roll against their hosts on Wednesday. They beat Ireland home and away during their successful qualifying campaign for Euro 2004 before drawing 1-1 in in their September 2004 World Cup qualifier in Basel. A win or a draw here, they will still be assured at least a playoff berth. A win here is likely to put the Swiss top, although France could overtake them by improving their goal difference with an emphatic victory at home to Cyprus. A draw might also be enough for the Swiss although Ireland and Israel, who have ended their campaign with 18 points, can still finish in the top two. Switzerland have a doubt over central defender Philippe Senderos who has skin inflammation just below his left eye otherwise, Kuhn is expected to name the side that drew 1-1 with France.

Probable lineup:

Ireland: Shay Given; Stephen Carr, John O'Shea, Kenny Cunningham, Richard Dunne; Graham Kavanagh, Steve Finnan, Kevin Kilbane, Matt Holland; Clinton Morrison, Robbie Keane.

Switzerland: Pascal Zuberbuehler; Ludovic Magnin, Patrick Mueller, Philippe Senderos, Philipp Degen; Raphael Wicky, Johann Vogel, Ricardo Cabanas, Tranquillo Barnetta; Johan Vonlanthen, Alex Frei.

Referee: Markus Merk (Germany)
