The Canadians underperformed in their opening match against Nigeria, ending in a 0-0 draw which felt like a positive result for the No. 40 ranked African side. Canada outshot the opposition 16-11 overall while controlling a commanding 68% of possessions, yet they were unable to find the back of the net to break the deadlock.
The Irish dropped their opening match of the group stage with a 1-0 loss to co-hosts Australia and will look to put in a better performance on Matchday 2. They’ll need at least a draw to avoid early elimination, but Canada will no doubt put up a strong fight especially after their disappointing result in their opener.
Back Christine Sinclair and the Canadians to get their ducks in a row and take all three points as they’ll look to take an early lead over Ireland.
