Canada vs Ireland Prediction & Pick
It's a bit shocking that Canada didn't tally the win against Nigeria. The Canadians outshot the Nigerians 16-11 and even controlled the ball for 68% of the matchup. Canada's Christine Sinclair even had a chance to put her country ahead with a penalty kick, but was stopped in her tracks. One can only assume she'll be out for revenge Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Ireland didn't show much promise while losing to Australia. The Girls in Green only mustered nine shot attempts while holding the ball for 37% of the meeting, registering just one shot on goal along the way. The team now has only one win in its last six contests.
I see Canada being determined to send a message after drawing against a team it should've beaten. The Canadians also have more big-stage experience than their Irish counterparts, which will play a role in the favorite getting the job done in Perth.
Final Score Prediction:'Canada: 2 | Netherlands: 0
Canada vs Ireland Best Bet
As for the best bet, I'm banking on Canada to win either 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0 (+135). I just don't see Ireland scoring in this matchup, having been shut out five times in its last six matches. Furtherm ore, four of the Irish's last five outings have been by final scores of 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0.
With Canada poised to bounce back nicely, expect Ireland's negative trend to continue.
