Nigeria to Confirm Round of 16 Spot with Win
Sitting atop Group B, Nigeria will secure a surprising spot in the last 16 if they avoid defeat against Ireland. Having held off a late comeback from Australia on Thursday, the Nigerians will be full of confidence heading into this match.
Ireland have lost their matches against Canada and Australia, eliminating them from the competition. Both defeats have been by a lone goal, however, and the Girls in Green have shown a resolute defence to at least make life difficult for their opponents.
It will be interesting how Ireland approach this match. With nothing to play for, the underdogs could play on the front foot in the hope of a first ever World Cup win. We’re expecting Nigeria’s superior quality to shine through.

Backing the Over
Nigeria’s first match was a goalless draw with Canada, while Ireland fell 1-0 to Australia. The second round of fixtures brought more goals, as Nigeria defeated Australia 3-2 and Ireland fell 2-1 to Canada.
Only four teams have conceded more shots per game than Nigeria, while Ireland have posted 2.1 expected goals over their 180 minutes.
Nigeria have gone over this total in three of their last four matches. There has also been over 2.5 in three of Ireland’s last four. Even at odds of 4/6, over 2.5 total goals is one of our favourite Ireland vs Nigeria Women’s World Cup tips.

Nigeria Gains Favoritism After Impressive Win Against Australia
The win over Australia has contributed to Nigeria being a comfortable favourite for this match. Ireland are ranked 18 spots higher than Nigeria, but the world rankings are not going to have too much of an impact on predictions for this match.
Both Canada and Australia created plenty of chances against Ireland. Nigeria should be able to do the same after taking 11 shots despite having just 35.7% possession against Australia.
Having scored eight goals in their last four matches, we love the value on Nigeria to score over 1.5 goals.
