THE PREDICTION
OFC qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup begins in March and New Zealand, who remain firm favourites for that, will be looking to tune up well with this set of friendlies. The Kiwis were comfortably beaten 3-1 by Jordan in their most recent outing. Results like that shouldn’t be read too much into but it does highlight the gulf between the Asian and Oceanian confederations. Uzbekistan come into this on the back of a defeat to Georgia in mid-November. They were also comfortably beaten by Jordan in October. This appears an evenly matched encounter and a draw would therefore appear the likeliest outcome.
