Ireland
Vera Pauw's side could be without the services of Heather Payne, who missed the defeat to Canada after pulling out of the warm-up with an injury issue.
McCabe became the first Irish player to score at a Women's World Cup when she found the net on Matchday Two, and she will continue to be key to Ireland's attacking efforts in their final group game.
Ireland Women possible starting lineup:
Brosnan; Fahey, Lo. Quinn, Connolly; O'Gorman, O'Sullivan, Littlejohn, McCabe; Sheva, Carusa, Farrelly
Nigeria
As for their opponents, Nigeria boss Randy Waldrum will stick with the back four of Michelle Alozie, Ohale, Oluwatosin Demehin and Ashleigh Plumptre.
Oshoala was a surprise omission from Thursday's starting lineup, but after coming off the bench to score Nigeria's third goal, the Barcelona forward is expected to return to the side for the final group game.
Deborah Abiodun is in contention to start after serving a one-match suspension for the red card that she received against Canada on Matchday One.
Nigeria Women possible starting lineup:
Nnadozie; Alozie, Ohale, Demehin, Plumptre; Ucheibe, Abiodun; Ajibade, Payne, Oshoala; Onumonu
Prediction: Ireland Women 1-2 Nigeria Women
