England vs New Zealand prediction
England boss Thomas Tuchel has made some big calls after a mixed opening year in charge of The Three Lions. With a squad that he has designed to his own fancy, England must be better than they were in March when they drew 1-1 with Uruguay and then lost to Japan, both at Wembley Stadium.
They now face a New Zealand side that were dominant in Oceanian qualification for the FIFA World Cup but The All Whites, as they are nicknamed, are one of the weakest sides at this summer’s tournament.
New Zealand were hammered 4-0 by Haiti the other day. England should come out on top here but they cannot be trusted to rack up much of a score but conceding seems very unlikely.
England vs New Zealand tip: England to win to nil
