The Kiwis now have a 50% win record in their last six games after losing the previous one. The team’s defensive woes have continued, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games. With only two group-stage games remaining, the defense desperately needs to step up. They are fourth in their group and will be looking for their first win in the 2022 Women’s Under-17 World Cup.
Nigeria, on the other hand, are third in the group based on goal difference following their loss to Germany. They have now lost five games in a row and have yet to win a game despite taking a 1-0 lead on several occasions. With games against New Zealand and Chile remaining, the African Giants will look for all six points to advance further in the mega event.
Despite the loss in their opening encounters, both teams will not be looking to chop and change and probably will back their strongest XI fielded in the opener.
New Zealand Women’s U17: Feinberg-Danielli; Haering, Green, McMillan, Elliot; Bercelli, Errington, Mortlock, Nathan; McCann, Clegg
Nigeria Women’s U17: Omilana; Adeshina, Folorunsho, Oyinlola, Usani; Afolabi, Aderemi, Emmanuel, Etim; Ajakaye, Dah-Zossu
