New Zealand vs Scotland prediction
Neither of these two nations picked up a single point of the first round, but Scotland were triumphant last time out, beating Ireland by two goals to one, throwing Pool H wide open as we edge towards the start of a new season. United States currently top the table but New Zealand held them to a 1-1 draw most recently.
Scotland’s brilliant win over the Irish has left them with a wonderful chance of winning the pool as they take on a New Zealand side who have disappointed all tournament long. A locked in Scotland is likely to dominate and makes backing them to win well worth considering.
New Zealand vs Scotland tip: Scotland to win
