Ireland Under-21s face Latvia in Tallaght Stadium tomorrow evening looking to keep up the momentum in their quest for qualification to the Under-21 European Championships.

Off the back of vital 1-0 win against Türkiye in Istanbul, Ireland are back on home soil against a solid opponent in Latvia who are currently in fourth spot in the group.

Sam Curtis’ late winner on Friday put Ireland second in the group with a game in hand over group leaders Italy.

They’ll walk out in Dublin 24 for the first time in two years, the last time being the first leg of the Play-Off against Israel in 2021 which saw Evan Ferguson score in a 1-1 draw.

What they said?

Republic of Ireland forward Sinclair Armstrong said: "There’s a good buzz in camp. To think we won after the first half we had is something we’re pleased about. The group are completely focused on tomorrow’s game. Back at the hotel, in Türkiye, after the game, we were already preparing for Latvia.”

Republic of Ireland Head Coach Jim Crawford said: “We’re looking forward to playing the game in Tallaght Stadium. It’s a top class pitch, which will serve well the group of players we have. But for me, with the group of players we have, we could play Latvia anywhere in the country. Hopefully we can get a good crowd there, and hopefully the crowd will be as excited as we are because we’ve got some really good players.”
