The match between New Zealand and the USMNT will be held at Marseille Stadium on the 27th of July. Of course, the game seems like a no-brainer to most of the soccer experts out there, as there’s just too big of a gap between the two teams. However, we do believe you should check out our professional New Zealand vs USMNT betting tips before placing a wager on this game.

USMNT vs New Zealand lineups

Let’s see who the two managers will rely on this week.

USMNT lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news

The opening Olympic game did not pan out great for the USMNT. However, there’s no time for Zimmerman and his colleagues to feel sorry for themselves, as the match against New Zealand is in the must-win category.

USMNT predicted lineup: Slonina (GK), Zimmerman, Robinson, Wiley, Davis, Tessmann, Aaronson, Busio, Mihailovic, Yow & McGuire

Player to watch: Duncan McGuire

Orlando City’s striker scored seven goals and supplied a teammate with an assist after 19 matches played. Those are some nice numbers to have, but we are sure that young McGuire is eager to prove himself for the USMNT as well.

New Zealand lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news

The key player for New Zealand is undoubtedly shot-stopper Paulsen. He and Bindon are both expected to start in the match against the USMNT. Seeing as they are the team leaders, it will be up to them to help their team get a point this week.

New Zealand predicted lineup: Paulsen (GK), Bindon, Surman, Sutton, Sheridan, Ball, Garbett, Singh, Old, Gillion & Waine

Player to watch: Alex Paulsen

After playing in the A-League for a couple of seasons, it was about time Paulsen made the next step. Premier League’s Bournemouth snapped him up on a massive deal earlier this summer. We are sure that his confidence is flying through the roof right now.

USMNT vs New Zealand H2H

This is where you will read more about the interesting USMNT vs New Zealand head-to-head statistics.

USMNT vs New Zealand prediction: 2-1

Just a few weeks ago, the USMNT came dangerously close to winning 2-1. Bolivia certainly deserved to score as they produced six shots at target. Surely, New Zealand won’t go down without a swing. However, we still believe the USMNT have the three points up for grabs.
