SCOTLAND make the short trip across the Irish Sea to meet Ireland in the Nations League.
The Saturday night clash is a big one for the Irish, who remain without a point in League B1.
They started this international break with a shock 1-0 defeat to Armenia.
It didn't get any better days later when Ukraine – fresh off World Cup agony in Cardiff at the weekend – ran out 1-0 winners in Dublin.
But it'll be back-to-back home games for Stephen Kenny's men when they welcome Scotland on Saturday night.
Their poor form sees them go into the clash as second favourites with Paddy Power.
The bookmarkers make Ireland 9/5 to land three crucial points, with Scotland just slight favourites at 7/4. The draw at 19/10.

The Tartan Army themselves suffered World Cup heartbreak in this international window – to the Ukrainians – but recovered to see off Armenia comfortably at Hampden in midweek.
Steve Clarke made changes for that game too and they will see this as a big opportunity to stamp their authority on the group.
With a trip to Armenia to come next midweek, Scotland could set themselves up strongly in the campaign ahead of a double-header with Ukraine.
Che Adams is favourite with Sky Bet to open the scoring, priced up at 6/1.
Fellow Scot Jacob Brown and Ireland's Callum Robinson, Scott Hogan and Michael Obafemi are all 13/2.
Ross Stewart could be a good shout as he is in line to get more minutes after coming off the bench in midweek and is 7/1 to find the net first.
