Analysis

Limited data — early in the competition

The model forecasts Belgium as clear favourites with a 60% win probability, predicting a most-likely scoreline of 0-1 and an expected goals advantage of 1.8 to 0.9. New Zealand have a 17% chance of victory with a 23% draw probability, whilst both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals are both assessed at around 48–49%. Both sides arrive with mixed recent form of one draw and one loss, though the limited data available means these forecasts should be treated with appropriate caution.
