Ireland v Brazil Live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 7:45pm

One of the highlight of the week's international friendlies sees Ireland take on five times world champions Brazil at Croke Park.

Irelandï¿½s lacklustre Euro 2008 qualification performances have seen them slip down the world rankings since their impressive performance in the 2002 World Cup, having not qualified for a major tournament since.

With key members such as Stephen Carr and Richard Dunne retired and with no new replacement for the sacked Steve Staunton, the team is in transition. Brazil are also in a state of transition, with many new faces in the squad such as Anderson,

Elano and new Tottenham signing Gilberto, this game will provide more experience for their young side. Bearing this in mind, bookmakers have placed Brazil as favourites, pricing them at 3/4 to get the away win, while Ireland are priced at 10/3 to beat the Samba Boys.
