Vera Pauw said that tonight s game against Denmark is a match that her side could afford to lose, however, the international manager will be hoping that the friendly international is one that Ireland could actually win.
The world number 14 ranked side arrive in Dublin as clear favourites, having qualified for Euro 2022, finishing top in Group B, ahead of Italy.
Ireland, by contrast, finished third in their qualifying group, and despite some early enthusiasm, Pauw’s side failed to make the play-offs and are now looking beyond the Euros towards the World Cup in 2023.
The manager took over the team shortly after the start of the Euros campaign, and has certainly impressed in the role, which has shown a very committed and well-organised unit compete throughout the group stages.
