Scotland vs Ireland prediction
These two teams should both be familiar with their surroundings and in what is a fixture with significant consequences even this early on in the tournament, the pressure is high on both sets of players. Neither nation have won a game in this competition previously, although their last showdown was a qualifier which Scotland came out on top in.
Ireland is a fairly young squad losing Laura Delany to injury feels like a big blow. Scotland boast a number of players with plenty of domestic experience in England as unlike the Irish stars, they don’t fall under the overseas category. The Scots are a team to watch out for in this tournament and are worth backing to edge out Ireland.
Scotland vs Ireland tip: Scotland to win
