This game is an opportunity for the Irish to prepare for next season's UEFA U19 Championships 2017 qualifiers which will commence in October when Ireland travel to Albania to face the hosts, Gibraltar and Germany seeking to qualify for the Elite Phase.
"It's a good game for the players born in 1998. We had the games against the Czech Republic before Christmas and we've a lot of similar players involved plus some new ones," said Doolin.
"They played each other in the UEFA U17 Finals in Bulgaria last year but both sides have a few new faces involved. It'll be a tough game and good test for the players.
"We'll prepare, train and do the analysis the same way as we would for a competitive game. I wouldn't expect anything less from myself or the staff. It's an opportunity for players to get a good experience at this level of the game."
