Ireland vs Nigeria Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday, 31 July 2023.
Ireland will face Nigeria in the third match of both nations’ World Cup campaigns in Group B at Suncorp Stadium. Ireland enters the contest after a 2-1 loss to Canada on Matchday 2. They will now aim for a better showing against Nigeria in their final match.
Their opponent, Nigeria has undoubtedly surprised many and is presently at the top of the group. A 3-2 victory over Australia would have also given them a lot of confidence. They would now try to put up a fight in order to advance to the next round.
This will be marked as the first ever meeting between these two teams.
We are counting on Nigeria to pull off a win here. They have been terrific so far in this World Cup leading up to this one. They are currently unbeaten in both their matches and defeated the host Australia last time out. They’ve also won four of their past five matches.
Ireland, on the other hand, has struggled to establish form in this tournament. They have lost both of their matches thus far in this competition.
We expect goals in this match. In three of Ireland’s last four matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, three of Nigeria’s past four matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has the greatest of defensive line. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in both of their matches in this tournament. While the visitors also conceded two goals last time out.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Nigeria are in excellent shape going into the match. They also won their last match, defeating one of the hosts, Australia. Furthermore, Ireland has mostly struggled in this tournament.
A victory for Nigeria at 2.10 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.80 look very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
