France have won their opening two group games so as long as they avoid a heavy defeat against New Zealand, they will secure a spot in the Quarter-Finals.
New Zealand can still qualify from Group A but they have to go one better than the USA on the final round of fixtures if they are to progress any further in Paris.

New Zealand Olympic preview: Can't afford to lose
New Zealand undid a lot of the hard work they put into the Guinea victory as they were thrashed 4-1 by the USA on matchday two.
The Americans raced into a 3-0 lead inside the opening half hour and then added a fourth shortly before the hour mark to end any faint hopes of a New Zealand comeback.
Jesse Randall did manage to pull a goal back for the OlyWhites but it was no more than a consolation.
Predicted lineup: Paulsen (GK), Boxall, Sutton, Surman, Bindon, Bell, Singh, Garbett, Herdman, Waine & Bayliss

France Olympic preview: Back-to-back wins
France secured a 1-0 victory against Guinea to maintain their 100% record in Group A.
While their second win of the 2024 Olympics wasn't as emphatic as their first, it was equally as important.
France have all but secured their place in the Quarter-Finals barring a series of shock results and they remain the favourite to go all the way and win the Gold medal.

Player to watch – Alexandre Lacazette
Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette proudly captains his national team at the 2024 Olympics and the veteran forward has played a key role in France's fine start to the competition.
Lacazette, 33, has always scored goals wherever he has played be that during his first spell at Lyon, in the Premier League with Arsenal, his return to Lyon and for the French national team at all levels.
France's veteran forward is off the mark at the Paris Olympics
We're expecting another big performance from Lacazette on Tuesday as France look to make it three wins from three and the striker aims to add to his goals tally.
