Ireland Team News

Ireland are also unbeaten in their last five matches, with three wins and two draws. However, they have not qualified for the World Cup and will use this friendly simply for gametime.

In late May, Ireland defeated Qatar 1-0, with centre-back Nathan Collins getting on the scoresheet. The Brentford defender also recorded the most touches (84) and a passing accuracy of 95%, which is highly impressive.

37-year-old wingback Seamus Coleman completed a match-high three dribbles and delivered crosses with 100% accuracy. Midfielder Jamie McGrath is another player who stood out, as he won 100% of his aerial duels.

The Boys in Green enter this fixture with a clean bill of health and should have their full squad available.

Ireland predicted lineup vs Canada (3-4-2-1): Kelleher; O’Shea, Collins, O’Brien; Scales, McGrath, Molumby, Coleman; Umeh, Ogbene; Parrott.

Canada vs Ireland Prediction

  • Pick: Canada to win
  • Odds: -222 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Canada 2-1 Ireland

We expect Canada to win. The squad boast greater overall quality and depth and currently sit 30th in the FIFA rankings compared to Ireland’s 59th place.

The home team’s balance and cohesion give them an advantage. Moreover, Les Rouges have scored seven goals and kept four clean sheets in their last five outings.

Canada vs Ireland Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
  • Odds: -110 (20Bet)

We expect the game to produce at least three goals. Both sides have shown the ability to create scoring opportunities in recent matches, and this friendly should provide an open environment for attacking soccer.

While Canada have scored seven in their last five outings, Ireland have found the net 11 times during the same span. Although Les Rouges possess the superior squad and should ultimately come out on top, the Boys in Green have enough attacking quality to threaten on the counterattack and contribute to a higher-scoring affair.
