Canada vs Ireland Expectations
- A lackluster game between Canada and Ireland is expected as the Canucks’ previous match ended 0-0.
- Canada are expected to get the three points over Ireland, as the sheer class difference between the two sides is immense.
- We don’t expect goals from both sides, as the Nigeria vs Canada match on the 21st of July barely saw four shots on target.
- However, there were plenty of set-piece opportunities for the 22 players on the pitch to enjoy, as 13 corner kicks were produced.

Canada vs Ireland Lineups & Team News
Canada
Huitema and A. Leon were desperately hammering away at Nigeria on the 21st of July, but their efforts were in vain, as the result on the scoreboard at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium never changed. The manager will likely refrain from tweaking his starting XI, as the classic 4-2-3-1 formation has proven successful for the Canucks over the past few years. In the remaining World Cup group games, we expect to see Canada line up in 4-2-3-1 as well. Further adjustments will likely be needed should the Canucks make it to the round of 16.
Predicted lineup – Sheridan (GK), Lawrence, Gilles, Buchanan, Riviere, Quinn, Grosso, Leon, Sinclair, Rose & Huitema
Ireland
Stoic Ireland couldn’t cope with the pressure against Australia and cracked in the 52nd minute of the game, when Stephanie Catley showed class to score the penalty. The Irish ladies simply can’t afford to lose any more points if they want to qualify for the next round. However, Ireland lacks attacking punch these days and it will be difficult for them to escape Group B.
Predicted lineup – Brosnan (GK), Connolly, Quinn, Fahey, Payne, O’Sullivan, Littlejohn, McCabe, Sheva, Carusa & Farrelly
Player to Watch: Louise Quinn
33-year-old Louise Quinn is the key player standing between Canada and a place in the round of 16. Louise did beautifully to keep the ball away from her net against Australia. However, even she wasn’t enough against favorites Matildas.
Nearing the end of her career, Louise Quinn’s reflexes remain sharper than ever. She made two crucial saves against Australia on the 21st of July and could’ve easily been the best player on the pitch had she saved Stephanie Catley’s penalty in the 52nd minute of the match.
