Norway women's team is rated higher than New Zealand in the opening match of the 2023 World Cup.

New Zealand vs Norway Prediction

Although co-hosting the 2023 World Cup with Australia, the New Zealand women's team is not highly rated.

Although falling into a not-so-difficult group with names like Norway, Switzerland and the Philippines, the World Cup host team still doesn't have much chance of entering the next round.

In the last 5 times participating in the biggest women's football festival on the planet, the fern country team has never passed the group stage.

Even after 15 matches in this playground, New Zealand has not had any wins.

On the other hand, Norway is a team with a rich tradition and has had quite good results in recent tournaments.

The Nordic team is highly regarded for its modern, powerful and fast style of play.

But it must be added that, in the trials before entering the 2023 World Cup, Norway did not play well, only winning 1 out of 5 matches.

On the other side of the field, New Zealand's performance is much worse when they only won 1 of their last 12 matches.

The World Cup host team has a squad of high quality players, but due to too little time playing together, their play is not smooth.

In addition, the team under coach Jitka Klimkova, although always proactive in controlling the game, often has difficulty finding a way into the opponent's goal.

With what they are showing, New Zealand is rated much lower than Norway.

This time they are playing at home and this is also the opening match of the 2023 World Cup, so Hand and his teammates will play with all their determination.

However, the above factors are probably not enough to bridge the gap in their expertise with Norway.

Therefore, it is not surprising if New Zealand fails in the opening match of the 2023 World Cup.
