New Zealand vs Philippines Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the World Cup Women on Tuesday, 25 July 2023.
New Zealand had a positive start to this World Cup season. The team bagged a 1-0 victory over Norway in their opening fixture. They are currently at the second spot, behind Switzerland at Group A table.
Going on, the team will face Philippines in their second fixture on Tuesday. Philippines lost to Switzerland conceding two unanswered goals. Moreover, their overall form doesn’t seem that impressive of late.
They have met just once in the past. It was in a friendly match and New Zealand won 2-1 ft.
Philippines have won their last three road trips in a row. But their opponents were Vietnam, Malaysia and Tajikistan. New Zealand had to face some stronger opponents like Italy and Argentina.
Going on, New Zealand started off with a good clean sheet victory while Philippines conceded a 0-2 defeat. The Kiwis’ in-form Hannah Wilkinson have scored in the World Cup match too.
Since their only head to head clash ended in a 2-1 win for the Kiwis, we have enough of reasons to back them against this Philippines side on Tuesday.
Both the teams started off this season recording under 2.5 goals matches. Only one of the last seven matches of New Zealand were high-scoring too. In that case, we don’t expect this match to have over 2.5 goals.
New Zealand have started off with a clean sheet win. Moreover, they have allowed just one goal in the last three matches in which they wore their home outfit. In that case, we don’t expect this match to have goals from both sides.
New Zealand will have a great chance to maintain their positive run. However, it won’t be a match which have goals in plenty considering the recent stats of both.
Therefore, we like to start with a 1-0 correct score tip in favor of New Zealand as the main betting tip. For the second tip, we like to place the under 2.5 goals tip at 1.70 odds.
