Australia – Ireland Women Preview: Form, News, and Possible Lineups
Read the latest news on both teams here, including our predicted Australia vs Ireland Women lineups:
Australia Women
After failing to qualify for the first-ever World Cup for Women in 1991, Australia participated in all subsequent tournaments. In the last four, they always managed to get out of the group stage, but their best result still is quarter-finals. The team has confidence that they can get further this time around, especially since Matildas are hosting the tournament this year.
Australia Women Predicted Lineup:
Arnold – Grant, Polkinghome, Hunt, Carpenter – Gorry, Yallop, Cooney-Cross, Raso – Fowler, Kerr
Ireland Women
For the first time in the history Ireland's women national team, we will see them at a major tournament. The team failed to get to the main stage so far, both at World Cups and European Championships, but this generation has the quality to compete at this level. That being said, getting out of their group would be a great success for Ireland.
Ireland Women Predicted Lineup:
Brosnan – Payne, Fahey, Quinn, Connolly, McCabe – Farrelly, O’Sullivan, Littlejohn, Sheva – Carusa
Starting Lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Australia Women
Republic of Ireland Women
Player to Watch: Samantha Kerr
It wasn't that hard to choose a player to watch in this match given that Samantha Kerr is the biggest name among both teams and furthermore, we do expect Australia to win.
Matildas' captain is one of the best players in the world. The Chelsea's forward also has plenty of experience given that she is 29 years old, so Ireland better keep a close eye on Kerr in this match.
