Canada go up against Ireland this coming Wednesday in their second outing in the World Cup group stage.
Canada sit as number two with one point following their opening Group B match, with Ireland having zero points as number four.
Canada came through the opening round with a goalless draw against Nigeria. No doubt they went into their opener gunning for a bit more, but at least they started off the World Cup by not losing, which is always nice. Ireland came up empty-handed in their group opener in the World Cup, going down 1-0 at the end against Australia. They need a reply and need it fast.
Form: Canada vs Ireland

Canada only added a single point to their account in their last three games, where they lost 0-3 and 2-1 against Japan and France respectively. At least they managed a 0-0 draw with Nigeria. Canada were able to win five of their previous 10 internationals across all tournaments while drawing one of the games. They suffered defeat in four of these outings.
Ireland Form
In their previous three outings, Ireland beat Zambia 3-2, fell to a 0-3 defeat to France and lost 1-0 against Australia. Ireland claimed five wins in their last 10 internationals across all tournaments, while also drawing one along the way. They endured defeat in four of the games in this run.
Neither Ireland nor Canada score many goals, but they are decent at keeping things tight at the back, and we don’t see a goal fest happening at Perth Rectangular Stadium.
