New Caledonia

WLWWDW

New Caledonia fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 3-0 WC Qualifiers - Oceania success over Tahiti.

The only name on the scoresheet from New Caledonia was Georges Gope-Fenepej (50', 75').

It’s been seldom in recent games where New Caledonia haven’t conceded. In fact, New Caledonia have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 6 goals in the process. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see if that pattern might persist here in this match or not.

New Zealand

DWWWWW 🔥

New Zealand will come into the clash following a 7-0 WC Qualifiers - Oceania win over Fiji in their previous match.

For New Zealand, the goals were scored by Chris Wood (6', 56', 60'), Sarpreet Singh (17'), Tyler Bindon (23'), Tim Payne (33') and Kosta Barbarouses (74').

A succession of steadfast showings by the New Zealand defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 2 from their past 6 fixtures combined. Over that same time, their forwards have scored 31.

🤜🤛 Head to head

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that New Zealand will most probably create enough chances to rack up a good score against New Caledonia, who may well find it hard getting on the scoresheet at all.

Could end up a right hammering here.

Our selection here is for a high-scoring 0-3 margin with maybe even more goals for New Zealand when all’s said and done.
