Why Ireland is a Good Bet Versus Canada
Ireland’s form is almost the same as Canada’s. The Republic of Ireland shows a win and 4 losses in their last 5.
The losses came versus good World Cup participants. The U.S., which beat Ireland twice, is the favorite to win the 2023 Women’s World Cup. France and host nation Australia are underdogs with a chance. Zambia is a WC participant. So Ireland is playing better than many might believe.

Why Canada is a Good Bet Against the Republic of Ireland
Nigeria got lucky in the 0-0 draw. Canada outplayed the Nigerians in every phase of the game.
Th Canadians controlled possession 68% to 33%. Canada took 16 shots compared to 11 for Nigeria. 3 of Canada’s shots were on goal. The Nigerians had just a single shot on goal.
Also, although Canada shows just a single victory in their last 5, it was a win versus quality squad Brazil in the She Believes Cup. Canada will be as aggressive against Ireland as they were versus Nigeria. Eventually, a Canadian shot will hit the back of the net.

Final Betting Analysis: Republic of Ireland vs Canada
Ireland played decent defense in their first World Cup match, a 1-0 loss to Australia. The Irish decided to allow the Aussies to control possession and take shots.
It was obvious Ireland was playing for a draw. On Thursday, the Irish face another Australia type squad in Canada.
The Canadians feel they allowed a win to slip from their grasps. We should expect Canada to come out firing on all cylinders. Canada will be even more aggressive than they were versus Nigeria because the favorite in this won’t want to leave anything to chance.
Expect Canada to score at least 2 while yielding 0. The Canadian handicap line attracts.
