New Zealand – Norway Women Preview: Form, News, and Lineups
Read the latest news and updates on both teams ahead of this match, including the most likely New Zealand Women vs Norway Women lineups:
New Zealand Women
The Football Ferns will co-host the world cup along with Australia and that might give New Zealand women a boost to help they get out of the group stages for the first time in the team's history. So far, New Zealand appeared in five World Cups and failed to notch even a single win. Perhaps the sixth time will be the charm for Football Ferns.
New Zealand Women Predicted Lineup:
Esson – Bott, Stott, Bowen, A. Riley – Steinmetz, Percival, Hassett, I. Riley – Wilkinson, Hand
Norway Women
Of the eight World Cup tournaments for women that have been held so far, Norway failed to get out of the group stage only once. The team was a champion in 1995 and the runner up at the first-ever World Cup for women, held in China in 1991. Norway reached semi-finals a couple more times, but their last semi final appearance was back in 2007. All in all, Norway is a strong team and one of the candidates to go deep.
Norway Women Predicted Lineup:
Mikaelsen – Hansen, Harviken, Mjelde, Bjelde – Risa, Josendal – Reiten, Leonhardsen-Maanum, Haavi – Hegerberg
Starting Lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Ada Hegenberg
Since Norway is the clear favourite here and we expect them to win, our player to watch come from their side and it is one of the team's best players Ada Hegenberg.
The experienced forward who plays for Lyon, one of the best teams in Europe, has 43 goals in 77 appearances for national team, so New Zealand will have to be wary of Hegenberg in this game.
