Canada Women vs Republic of Ireland Women Predictions

• The Republic of Ireland’s four strikers have scored a combined 10 international goals
• The Irish have lost four of their last five games to nil
• Canada have kept a clean sheet in 11 of their previous 13 victories

Rough start for Canada

After being unable to break down Nigeria in their opener, Canada know their clash with the Republic of Ireland is a must-win game. The Canadians are expected to find a way through to the knockout rounds, but they meet an Irish side who just gave hosts Australia a tough test.

The Irish have designs on making the last 16 themselves and their 1-0 loss to the co-hosts came despite numerous missed chances to pull level. While they looked resolute in a tricky opening clash, issues in front of goal could cost the Girls in Green.

Girls in Green shy on goals

The Republic of Ireland’s top international scorers in this squad are captain Katie McCabe and Denise O’Sullivan, who have hit 18 goals in 74 and 103 appearances respectively. Up front, their four selected strikers have a tally of jut 10 international goals across a combined 63 caps.

The Irish have scored in just one of their last six games and they’ve lost to nil in four of their last five internationals. Meanwhile, favourites Canada have kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 13 victories, so back them for a win to nil as they look to get their World Cup campaign back on track.
