Team news
Vera Pauw has made a change of goal, with Grace Moloney brought in for her first competitive outing at the senior international level. Goalkeeping has been a problem for Ireland this season, with Marie Hourihane and Courtney Brosnan tainting this season with individual errors.
Moloney, however, has been in good shape for Reading at the WSL, and has been Team of the Week twice this season.
Meanwhile, Shelbourne ace Jamie Finn comes to midfield for his second international game and it looks like Ireland will line up in a 1-5-4-1 formation, or go 1-3-5-2 as the game unfolds. The defense will see Liverpool’s Niamh Fahey return to join the trusted partnership of midfielder Louise Quinn and Diane Caldwell.
Brighton & Hove Albion forward Rianna Jarrett will lead the line, as she has of late, with American Heather Payne joining her in attack after an impressive performance in Kiev.
Ireland: Moloney; O’Gorman, Quinn, Caldwell, Fahey, McCabe; Littlejohn, Finn, O’Sullivan, Payne; Jarrett.
Subsidiaries: Brosnan, Reid-Burke, Keenan, Scott, O’Riordan, Walsh, Atkinson, Farrelly, Molloy, Ziu, Whelan, Barrett.
