Why you should back New Zealand

New Zealand is the betting favorite for several reasons in this match. One is the reality that the match is taking place in its home country, bringing inherent edges when it comes to local support. From there, the Philippines are ranked well below New Zealand in the world rankings, and the Philippines have not scored more than one goal in any of the last 10 games. 

New Zealand defeated the Philippines in a 2022 friendly, and the Philippines have lost the last two matches by a combined 7-0 margin against Switzerland and Iceland. New Zealand played at an inspiring level in the opening win over Norway, with Hannah Wilkinson notching the game's only goal off a brilliant cross from Jacqui Hand. Wilkinson now has 29 goals for New Zealand, and the home country has an advantage in experience in this match. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Philippines

The Philippines entered the tournament with their highest FIFA world ranking in history and, even after a loss to Switzerland, there is room for optimism. The Philippines have four clean sheets in the last seven matches, allowing only four goals combined in that sample. During qualifying, the Philippines scored a combined 16 goals against Hong Kong, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and Sarina Bolden is a talented creator.

Bolden, a 27-year-old forward, has 21 goals in 37 national team appearances, and the Philippines are facing a New Zealand team with weaknesses. New Zealand has lost seven of their last 10 matches, scoring only four goals and conceding 22 times in 2023. New Zealand also have an ugly World Cup record, with only one win and two clean sheets in 16 all-time Women's World Cup games. See which team to pick here.
