Canada New Zealand betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel marks the meeting between two very inexpressive national teams within the world-wide football, since once again they were left out of the World Cup, the biggest competition between nations in this sport. Canada's only participation in the World Cup was in 1986 when it failed to make it through the group stage. New Zealand competed in the World Cup twice: in 1982 and 2010, while in the latter, although it was eliminated in the group stage, it was the only unbeaten squad in the competition. In this way, we expect a very balanced game between two teams that do not have much experience in big tournaments, and also do not have many players playing in the major leagues on all continents. Thus, the draw is a good betting option, but still with favoritism for the home team.

Preview
Canada and New Zealand meet at Pinatar Arena Football Center, in a friendly match, the first of the year for both teams. These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Canada

This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 5 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: El Salvador (1‑0) Canada, Canada (2‑0) Jamaica, Canada (2‑1) Curaçao, Scotland (1‑1) Canada and Bermuda (2‑4) Canada. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got an away loss against El Salvador by (1‑0). In the last 8 home matches Canada has won 5, tied 2 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 7 of the last 8 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Canada enter the field for their first appointment in 2018, after more than 5 months of their last match, also a friendly, in which they ended up defeated by El Salvador away from home. However, that was one of only two defeats the team has suffered in the last nine games. Its last official clash in 2017 was for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, when it lost to Jamaica by 2-1. The Canadian National Team played for the World Cup Qualifiers but was eliminated in the fourth round of the tournament as it finished third in Group A. This duel marks the debut of coach Herdman at the command of Canada, there may be some significant changes from the last match.

Confirmed Lineup: Milan Borjan, Ashtone Morgan, Dejan Jakovic, Manjrekar James, Michael Petrasso, Samuel Piette, Jonathan Osorio, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Liam Millar, Tosaint Ricketts, Cyle Larin.
Coach: J. Herdman.

Analysis New Zealand

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Japan (2‑1) New Zealand, Belarus (1‑0) New Zealand and Northern Ireland (1‑0) New Zealand. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualifying Play‑Off, they got an away loss against Peru by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches New Zealand has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

New Zealand will play their first game of the season this year, needing to improve their performance to try to get a positive result and thus erase the bitter aftertaste since they did not get a place in the World Cup in Russia. Although they beat the Solomon Islands in the final of their continent's qualifiers, the team still had to play for the spot against Peru, so it ended up being eliminated after having drawn at home and suffered an away defeat. The New Zealand Team added only one victory in the last ten matches, and in that period it accumulated five consecutive defeats, not having scored goals in four of them. The team had been organized in the 5-3-2, but as this confrontation marks the debut of coach Schmid, we expect some changes.

Confirmed Lineup: Max Crocombe, Sam Brotherton, Thomas Doyle, Adam Mitchell, Michael Boxall, Tim Payne, Clayton Rhys Lewis, Cameron Howieson, Michael McGlinchey, Jeremy Brockie, Marco Rojas.
Coach: D. Hay.
