Friday’s match will mark another significant personal milestone for Weir as she earns her 110th Scotland cap.
The 30-year-old has her sights firmly on next year’s World Cup in Brazil, saying: “That’s what I dream of, for sure. It’s my biggest ambition for the next 12 months, 18 months.
“It’s not easy, but ask anyone in this team and that’s exactly where they want to be.”
Weir’s journey began as a youngster with Elgin Star in Dunfermline before a career that has taken her to Hibernian, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.
For the past four years she has been a key figure at Real Madrid, where she scored 63 goals and provided 40 assists in 125 appearances.
At the weekend, she received a guard of honour when being substituted off in what could prove to be her final appearance for the Spanish club, with her contract due to expire.
While refusing to discuss her future plans, Weir reflected warmly on her time in Madrid.
“I’ve had an amazing four years,” she said. “I have very fond memories and love playing and representing that club. It’s a special place, special club.
“Living in Madrid and wearing the kit was a dream of mine. I was a Real Madrid fan growing up.
“When I signed, that was a special moment. Then in the last couple of years, playing in some big games and big moments, as a Scottish player I think it’s been really cool.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute playing there.”
