Republic of Ireland center-back Richard Dunne looks fit to experience despite missing training on Monday with sore spots.

Jon Walters might be preferred to Kevin Doyle in advance after impressing as an alternative against Croatia.

Manager Giovanni Trapattoni is pressurized to create changes to his beginning line-up following Sunday's defeat, their first in 14 matches.

The 73-year-old is not likely to create any dramatic alternations to his side though, selecting rather to stay with his attempted and reliable gamers.

With only two wins from 14 previous games against La Roja - who consequently are unbeaten within their last 15 competitive matches - Ireland get into the overall game as huge underdogs.

About ten years ago - in the last major tournament they qualified for - the Republic of Ireland's 2002 World Cup hopes were ended by the country, and following their unpredicted 3-1 capitulation to Croatia within their opening match, the Irish know they have to take something from the world and European champions this time around or face elimination once more.

Shay Given, Damien Duff, Robbie Keane, and Richard Dunne (an unused substitute) counseled me involved on that day, in the last 16 stage, within an enthralling encounter as Mick McCarthy's males unluckily bowed on penalties. A particular 21-year-old goalkeeper named Iker Casillas - now Spain's most assigned player - is the only survivor. He was the guy accountable for smashing the Republic's hearts, not just keeping out Ian Harte's penalty throughout normal time but going onto is their shoot-out hero.

Ireland's assistant manager Marco Tardelli has stated the Irish aren't in the European Championship "to become the Cinderella males from the tournament,” yet some bookies are providing 10/1 with an Irish victory. Left-back John O'Shea, who at 31 is showing up at his initial tournament, remains positive about his country's chances: "We are able to beat The country, but we will need a ton of luck on the way.” And around Ireland is going to be feeling pressure, same goes with The country, who, after drawing their opening match, may wish to win to make sure their fate lies in their own individual hands entering the final round of group matches.

The Spanish language mind coach Vicente Del Bosque was heavily criticized for fielding a side with no recognized striker within the 1-1 draw against Italia. Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho known as the tactics 'sterile' but regardless of the dissenting voices Del Bosque can always choose to continue his unorthodox selection policy. Italia demonstrated within the opener that the country - as well as their Barcelona-affected tiki-taka football - could be tamed, hope indeed for Ireland, as well as their Italian manager Giovanni Trapattoni.
