The dream is over for Ireland, as their run in the World Cup came to an end on matchday two following defeat against Canada. However, the nation will be able to hold their head high after two very impressive displays against highly-ranked opponents. Ireland were excellent for 45 minutes against Canada, with their first ever goal at the tournament being scored by the impressive Katie McCabe. 
There will be big stakes on the line in Brisbane on matchday three in Group B, as Nigeria will need something out of their clash against Ireland to book their place in the round of 16. The African nation surprised everybody in their second match, as they produced one of their best ever World Cup displays to land a 3-2 win over Australia. Uschenna Kanu scored the equalising goal on the stroke of half time, before Osinachi Ohaele and Asisat Oshoala scored goals in the second period to help secure a 3-2 win.

Ireland vs Nigeria Prediction 

Bet here 
Ireland deserves to leave the World Cup with at least a victory behind them, such has been the impressive nature of their performances. However, the Nigeria’s momentum looks too challenging to overlook, so we will side with the African nation gaining the win they need to reach the round of 16.

This is the first meeting between Ireland and Nigeria at the World Cup. However, the African nation has a poor recent record against European opposition, as they are winless in their last eight matches.
