The odds may appear short, but in truth we are backing here the current Olympic Winners Canada to score at least 1 goal as the opponent Ireland is very shy in the attack against teams of this caliber.

Ireland are a physical team, and horrible to play against as the Canadian coach described it, the meanest of the ladies is the captain Katie McCabe, pictured above.

Ireland recently have scored only against Zambia.

In the first round loss to Australia they gave basically a good defensive performance, but in the attack managed to create 1 shoot on target, and I rate Canada as a better team of these two.

The stakes are getting higher, for Canada a draw would not yet end their hopes for qualification, but Ireland definitely can not afford to lose.

There have been no matches between these two in 10 years, and rather few cross-continent games in general so we must trust own eyes and world rankings here.

Both are probably approaching the game without major changes in the lineups, although Chelsea midfielder Jessie Fleming might be available to start this time for Canada.

机会可能看起来很渺茫，但事实上，我们在这里支持本届奥运会冠军加拿大队至少进1球，因为对手爱尔兰队在面对这种水平的球队时非常害羞。

爱尔兰是一支身体素质很强的球队，正如加拿大教练所描述的那样，她们很难与之对抗，最刻薄的女人是队长凯蒂·麦凯布(Katie McCabe)，见上图。

爱尔兰最近只在对阵赞比亚的比赛中取得进球。

在第一轮输给澳大利亚的比赛中，他们的防守表现基本上不错，但在进攻中，他们成功地创造了1次射门，我认为加拿大是这两支球队中更好的一支。

赌注越来越高，对加拿大来说，平局还不会终结他们出线的希望，但爱尔兰绝对输不起。

这两支球队已经10年没有比赛了，跨洲比赛也很少，所以我们必须相信自己的眼睛和世界排名。

虽然切尔西中场杰西·弗莱明可能会在加拿大的比赛中首发出场，但两人的阵容都不会有大的变化。
