Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby says there is no need to motivate her team ahead of their Nations League play-off second leg against Montenegro.
Northern Ireland won the first leg 2-0 on Friday, with goals from Lauren Wade and Demi Vance.
The second leg will be played at Windsor Park on Tuesday, with NI aiming to stay in League B and qualify for Euro 2025.
“This is a new game for us and we will fight for the win,” Oxtoby said.
Northern Ireland dominated the hosts in Friday's first leg in Montenegro's capital, but they had to wait until the 70th minute for Wade to take the lead with a header.
Vance added his second goal in stoppage time to give the Oxtoby side a buffer ahead of the second leg at Windsor Park.
Key defender Sarah McFadden trained on Monday after suffering a knock in the first leg and will be tested on the morning of the match, but Oxtoby said: “She appears to be in good condition.”
However, there were doubts over forward Emily Wilson and teenager Naomi McLaughlin trained with the first team for the first time.
Australia's Oxtoby added that Friday's performance was “really positive, but I always want more.”
“With and without the ball, we were dominant. That's what I wanted,” she said.
“In a game like this it's easy to get away from what you're trying to do and panic a bit, but we didn't do that and just kept trying and playing.
“I'm really happy but I want to build on that. The players are positive and enthusiastic about it. We talked at every window that this is about us and that we continue to grow on our journey. I have confirmed it.”
“They want to get better, they want to keep growing, they want to keep learning.”
“Soccer is for everyone”
There will be a big moment at Windsor Park on Tuesday as Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill, Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengery and GAA president Jarlath Barnes will be attending the match.
Sinn Féin's Mr O'Neill pledged to attend the game against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park after becoming Prime Minister earlier this month.
This will be Mr Burns' first public appearance since being elected GAA president.
“I think it's amazing that our executives finally came together,” captain Marissa Callahan said.
“Football is for everyone and it's great to have everyone here. I hope more people will watch us.”
Cliftonville midfielder Callaghan was happy with Northern Ireland's performance in Podgorica, but added that the team could still improve.
“We're going to take it seriously and we're going to look at our strengths,” Callaghan added.
“We're going to go at a pretty good tempo. I think we were a little slow at times in the build-up, but I think we're going to see a really good Northern Ireland team.”
“I think it's the tempo, the speed of play, the speed of passing. Tomorrow night we have a good tempo and it's going to be a really good game.”
“This is a very important game for us individually and collectively. We said earlier that it was a cup final, but now it's half-time.
“They are focused on going out and playing really well and getting a good result.”
