New Zealand vs Norway Prediction | Women’s Championship Tips
New Zealand vs Norway Recent Form
As co-hosts, New Zealand earned an automatic spot in the tournament alongside Australia. So the Football Ferns had to make do with a number of international friendly matches to get ready for the competition. However, they haven’t displayed anything to note to make them one of the tournament’s favourites.
The New Zealand girls lost four out of six, with one win and one draw. Their lone win comes against the equally weak Vietnam by 2:0, and they even lost to Nigeria by 3:0. Playing against a women’s football force like Norway is not going to be easy for the Football Ferns.
Norway qualified as the first team from the European qualifying bracket by topping Group F. The Grasshoppers advanced in front of Belgium and beat them by six points.
However, in preparation for the tournament, Norway won only a single match (2:0 vs Netherlands) and lost three and drew two. Their most recent game was versus Sweden, against which they played at 3:3.
New Zealand vs Norway Head to Head
With five matches between the two, Norway is obviously the more dominant side with three wins. One went to the Football Ferns and one ended in a draw.
Norway actually won their two most recent games against New Zealand. In 2022 they won by 2:0 in a friendly match, and before that, in 2020, by 2:1 as part of the Algarve Cup.
