New Zealand vs Philippines prediction, odds, betting tips and best bets for Women’s World Cup group stage

Date:

After upsetting Norway in the tournament opener, co-hosts New Zealand have a chance to secure a spot in the knockout stage as they take on the Philippines in their second group-stage match of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

The Football Ferns stunned their European opponents a week ago with a mix of defensive solidity and a pestering attack that never stopped poking and prodding, securing all three points by protecting Hannah Wilkinson’s 48th-minute winner.

A win in this match, then, would see them to six points, which would mathematically secure a spot in the knockout stage unless Norway beat Switzerland to leave New Zealand not yet out of reach.

The co-hosts will also know that goal differential could play a huge factor atop the table, and thus looking to potentially run up the score could be vital, but that will be a difficult ask given the defensive qualities of the opponent.
