New Zealand will be greatly disappointed with their form in recent matches. In their last six games, they have managed just a draw to go with five defeats. This winless run for New Zealand has stretched for far too long for their liking. The 24th ranked nation in the Women’s FIFA rankings had a horrific time in the She Believes Cup where they finished bottom of their group whilst facing Iceland, USA and the Czech Republic. USA thrashed New Zealand comprehensively by 4-0 in the latest encounter between these two sides just a couple of days back.
USA have endured some mixed and inconsistent results in their recent fixtures. They have earned three victories along with three defeats in their last six outings. A star studded side, USA have experienced lot’s of success in recent years. However, they succumbed to three consecutive defeats against England, Spain and Germany respectively during October and November of 2022. Ranked first in the world rankings, USA will hope that it is just a bump in the road and that this run doesn’t affect their fortunes in the upcoming tournaments.
With these two sides having locked horns against each other just a couple of days ago, there is good chance that both these nations will opt to go in with severely rotated XIs from their last meeting.
