New Zealand vs India prediction
In the first friendly between the two sides at the Go Media Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand hammered India by five goals to nil on Thursday with a Bijoy Varghese own goal before a Jesse Randall brace as well as strikes from Chris Wood and Lachlan Bayliss.
The All Whites found improvement last month after a poor FIFA World Cup campaign with a draw against Palestine, victory against China, penalty shootout win versus Panama and then a narrow defeat to a strong Japan side.
That hammering for the Indians means that they have only beaten the Maldives and Pakistan in their last ten matches and another comfortable Kiwi victory is to be expected at the One NZ Stadium in Christchurch.
