Chile returns to the Women’s U-17 World Cup after a 12-year absence and are placed in Group B. Chile have blown hot and cold this season in the South American U-17 Women’s Championship, winning two of five games and drawing one with Uruguay. In the recent past, the defense has been a cause of concern because it has been easily breached. Chile will try to stay back and hold the defense together while trying to play counter-attacking football.
New Zealand have been in good form recently, winning four out of their six games. Despite the fact that the number of wins tells you a different story, New Zealand’s defense has always been a worry, as they have not been able to keep a clean sheet in any of the last five matches. The team will look to start things in a positive manner against Chile by bagging all three points. This game could potentially turn into a goal fest with two shaky defenses.
Given that this is the tournament’s first match, there would not be second thoughts about fielding their strongest lineups if not for any injury or fitness concerns, and they will be looking to bag three points in the kitty.
The FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup match between Chile and New Zealand will take place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Tuesday at 4:30 pm IST.
The match will be broadcasted live on Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD in India. As for OTT viewers, the match will be available on the Voot app.
