League B Group 1 leaders Republic of Ireland cross swords with arch-rivals Northern Ireland as both sides look to wrap up their UEFA Women's Nations League campaign on a high.
Northern Ireland are second in the group with an eight point difference between the two sides indicating the sheer dominance their opposition has shown. Despite that Northern Ireland will look to challenge the visitors' winning streak as a loss for them and a win for Hungary could see them swap places in the table.
Republic of Ireland were guaranteed promotion after making it five wins out of five games as they defeated Hungary at home. Henrietta Csiszár own goal was the difference between the two sides as Republic of Ireland cemented their position at the pinnacle of the table. A win against their rivals could see them continue their perfect streak and march into League A with massive confidence.
