Republic of Ireland v Sweden: First Goalscorer Tip

In a match as tough to call as this one we’re well advised to take advantage of Ladbrokes money back offer if the game ends as a draw.

One of the applicable markets for this promotion is ‘First Goalscorer’ and there can only realistically be one selection if we’re going down that route.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (7/2) has just enjoyed the best season of a career which was already stellar, netting a remarkable 50 times for Paris St Germain including 38 in 31 matches in Ligue 1.

To make the bet even more appealing, the 34-year-old also fired 11 qualifying goals for Sweden, including three in the decisive playoff victory over neighbours Denmark.

Given the Irish conceded two each to Slovakia and most recently Belarus, they are bound to be vulnerable against one of the world’s best players looking for some late career glory.
