The first round of Group A of this year's women's soccer will see a matchup with the women's soccer team. The strength of these two teams is relatively close to each other, and it is difficult to have a clear advantage of the side before the match, but you can still analyze the prediction from some angles.
First of all, the two teams have a more glorious past in terms of their historical records. This team has been runners-up twice, in 1995 and 2003, and was also runner-up in the 2000 Olympics. The New Zealand women's soccer team made its debut in the Women's World Cup in 2010 and made it to the round of 16 again in 2011. Therefore, in terms of past performance, the Norwegian women's soccer team is better and has a certain advantage.
However, with the passage of time and the turnover of players, past results do not necessarily represent the current strength. Prior to the current Women's World Cup, the New Zealand women's soccer team had won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six matches, a relatively stable performance. The Norwegian women's soccer team, on the other hand, had two wins, three draws and one loss in their last six matches, a relatively weak performance. Judging from their recent performance, the New Zealand women's soccer team seems more likely to win the match.
It is also important to note the host factor. The match will be played on New Zealand's home turf, and historically, hosts have often performed well in the Women's World Cup. Prior to the 2019 Women's World Cup, there have been three occasions where the hosts have won the title. Therefore, New Zealand women's soccer team's advantage of playing at home is also a factor to watch.
Finally, the lineups and tactical arrangements of both teams need to be analyzed. In terms of personnel, the Norwegian women's football team has two important players in Iniesta and Sara Gretz, both of whom have excellent attacking organization and goal-scoring ability. And Helen Sinclair, the striker of New Zealand Women's Football Team, is the most shining player in this team, who had scored four goals in the Women's World Cup 2019. In terms of tactical arrangements, the Norwegian women's soccer team is relatively rich in attacking means, able to threaten the opponent through a variety of ways, such as quick passes and set-pieces. On the other hand, the New Zealand women's soccer team is more team-oriented, focusing on defensive counterattacks, hoping to rely on playing high-quality cooperation to achieve victory.
Overall, the two sides are relatively close in this match, but judging from their recent performance and the host factor, the New Zealand women's soccer team is more likely to win the match. However, due to the uncertainty of the match and the variable nature of women's soccer, it will be necessary to test who will be able to win in the end through the match.
