Republic of Ireland vs. Georgia: Date, Time, Live Stream for Euro 2016 Qualifier

The Republic of Ireland take on Georgia at the Aviva Stadium on Monday, as they look to keep their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2016 alive.

Martin O’Neill’s men cruised past Gibraltar with a 4-0 victory on Friday night to move within two points of second place in Group D, but with crunch matches against Germany and Poland to come, only maximum points will do against the Georgians.

Ireland will have their work cut out getting exactly that, though, as Georgia come into Monday’s clash full of confidence after disposing of Scotland 1-0. It’s all to play for in Dublin.

Date: Monday, September 7

Time: 7:45 p.m. BST/2:45 p.m. ET

Venue: Aviva Stadium, Dublin

One Down, Three to Go For Irish

Ireland came into their last four Euro 2016 qualifying games knowing that only four wins would do. And as Mission 2 comes around for O’Neill and Co., spirits in the Irish camp are high.

A Robbie Keane brace in between strikes from Cyrus Christie and Shane Long gave Ireland four points against Gibraltar on Friday, and their patient approach against the minnows was impressive.

They’ll have to be similarly measured with their play against Georgia, whom they disposed of in Group D’s opening game in Tbilisi.

Aiden McGeady scored a late goal in a 2-1 win for Ireland that time around, but he’s unlikely to come back into the side for Monday’s match.

Robbie Brady was the standout performer against Gibraltar, and he’ll hold down his wing spot once again.

Seamus Coleman could step in at right-back ahead of goalscorer Christie, while Keane will continue to lead the line up front.

The L.A. Galaxy star has now scored an international goal in every calendar year for the past 18 years, and former player Matt Holland was one of many praising his input:

Keane, though, remained focused on the job at hand. Speaking with Shamoon Hafez of BBC Sport, the 35-year-old said that the 2-1 win over Gibraltar at the start of the campaign could well make all the difference: "There is still a long way to go but we got the job done. Monday will be a massive game for us. The three points in Georgia at the start of the campaign could be massive for us."

Astonishingly, Keane is now just one goal behind German legend Gerd Muller for international strikes, per Sky Sports News HQ, and you’d be brave to bet against him equalling Muller on Monday.

However, Georgia may have something to say about that.

Having defended valiantly against Scotland on Friday, the Georgians will fancy their chances of keeping Ireland at bay, too.

It will likely once again be a case of the Irish remaining patient and letting their flair players like Wes Hoolahan and Brady dissect the Georgian defence.

And with Keane there to feed on the scraps and take half chances as they come around, Georgia’s defence is in severe danger of being breached.

Ireland still have a long way to go before they qualify for next year’s European Championships, but they can undoubtedly lay the perfect platform for success on Monday.

Prediction: Republic of Ireland 2-0 Georgia
