Breen is banking on Keane and Duff to do the business

IRELAND can take confidence from the current form of their deadly duo Robbie Keane and Damien Duff, as they plan for the Euro 2004 showdown with Switzerland on Saturday, says Gary Breen.

Breen, at 29, one of the elder statesmen of the team, identified the more youthful Keane and Duff as potential match-winners in a game he predicts will be tense and tight.

Breen was in the ideal position to evaluate Ireland's prospects having been involved in play-offs against Belgium, Turkey and Iran in recent years.
