Why New Zealand Will Beat Philippines

Co-hosts New Zealand made history by registering their first victory at the World Cup with a shock 1-0 win over former champions Norway. Melbourne City forward Hannah Wilkinson broke the deadlock three minutes into the second half, and the Football Ferns held on to secure the historic win despite missing a late penalty.

The New Zealand team, after securing a victory in the opening game, is confident and once again counting on the support of their home crowd to move closer to securing a spot in the knockout stage. Participating in the World Cup for the sixth time, the New Zealand women's national team has been striving to establish themselves in the tournament since their debut in 1991. Despite showing progress over the years, they have yet to advance to the knockout stage.

Competing in Group A in this edition of the Women’s World Cup, New Zealand has already secured three points from a hard-fought match. Another win in the next game could secure them a coveted spot in the knockout stage, depending on the result of the other game. In a friendly match held in 2022, New Zealand faced the Philippines and clinched a 2-1 victory. This encounter marked the first and only meeting between the two national teams in history up to this moment, leaving a significant record in the international sports scene.

Kiwi boss Jitka Klimková will likely name an unchanged starting XI following the Ferns' sensational win against Norway. Hannah Wilkinson, a forward from Melbourne City, has proven to be a crucial player for the team, with 29 goals in 116 appearances for the national team. Her contribution goes beyond the historical record, as she scored the goal in the tournament's opening match. Another standout player is Jacqui Hand, a forward from Aland United, who provided the assist for the goal in the first round. Ria Percival, Annalie Longo, and Betsy Hassett are also looking to make an impact in this match.

Why Philippines Will Beat New Zealand

The Philippines faced a hard-fought 2-0 loss against Switzerland last Friday. As a result, the Filipino team currently holds the fourth position in their group and must quickly recover to avoid an early elimination.

Participating in the Women's World Cup is a historic moment for the Philippines, as it's the first time their team has qualified for the tournament. This achievement marks a significant advancement for women's football in the country since they have never reached a final in the AFC Asian Cup before.

The expectations for the Philippines were not exceedingly high. Now, they have a minimal chance of reaching the next stage, and this possibility will vanish if they lose to New Zealand in this round. Despite the 2-0 loss against Switzerland, head coach Alen Stajčić is likely to stick with the same starting XI.

Quinley Quezada, a midfielder from Estrela Vermelha, has demonstrated her offensive prowess, scoring 22 goals in 48 games for the Philippine national team. Another standout player is Sarina Bolden, a forward from the Western Sydney Wanderers, who has accumulated 22 goals in just 36 matches for the national team. Carleigh Frilles, Katrina Guillou, Anicka Castañeda, Hali Long, and captain Tahnai Annis will be expected to make an impact in this match.

Final New Zealand-Philippines Prediction & Pick

A low-scoring affair is expected between the Ferns and the Filipinas. New Zealand's home-court advantage will surely inspire confidence, but they have not been prolific in recent games. Both teams will play cautiously here, but the Filipinas can still pull the upset and get the win in this game.

Final New Zealand-Philippines Prediction & Pick: Philippines (+1000), Under 2.5 goals (-136)
