"I'm just really nervous about the match, really excited as well. I can't wait to see the Dutch players live," Ruth Fahy told OTB AM ahead of Ireland's match against the Netherlands tonight.

The former-Irish international believes that the hype surrounding the match has made it the, "biggest game in women's football history."

The FAI expect a sellout at Tallaght Stadium tonight.

Fahy warned that the Dutch will have revenge on their minds as they come to Dublin and that they will have learned a lot from their first encounter with this Irish team.

Halfway through the World Cup qualifying campaign Ireland are joint-top of Group C - with the Dutch edging-out the Girls in Green on goal difference.

A victory tonight would put Ireland in pole position to claim automatic qualification.

The four strongest runner-ups across the seven UEFA qualifying groups will earn playoff sports for the 2019 World Cup in France.

Kick off tonight is at 19:00.
