Ireland are currently in second place on 10 points in Group 3 as they prepare to host the top seeds Norway, who are just one point behind.
With table leaders Holland still unbeaten, it looks as though the Girls in Green will be battling it out against Norway for that runners-up spot.
Ireland’s starting line-up for this evening’s game has been announced with Áine O’Gorman set to earn her 99th cap for her country.
