Cameroon Women vs New Zealand Women Predictions

Against both Canada and Netherlands, Cameroon showed glimpses of promise, as they looked to sit back and play on the break, though a lack of overall quality, especially in the final third, let them down on both occasions. Much of the same can be said for New Zealand, who also come into this game having lost each of their first two matches in France.

Cameroon certainly weren’t disgraced first time out; they only lost by a single goal against the side ranked fifth in the world, and it’s not as if they were lucky to avoid a heavier defeat, as they gave away only 1.07 expected goals and clocked 0.53 for. Second time out, Cameroon were perhaps unfortunate to lose by two goals. Their opponents created only 1.46 expected goals for, while they themselves posted 0.94. They lack a cutting edge, there can be no denying that, though Cameroon have been anything but easy to beat, so much so that they ought to fancy themselves against a New Zealand side that has been very disappointing.

On match-day one, New Zealand appeared to be unlucky, as they lost in the dying moments, though if we examine their overall efforts against Holland, then it’s probably fair to say that they deserved to lose. They conceded 15 shots, posted just six in reply, while they finished the game with an expected goal difference of -1.77.

New Zealand would’ve been hoping to improve against Canada, though they went backwards instead, losing by two goals to nil, shipping 3.58 expected goals and replying with just 0.08. Cameroon aren’t as good as either Canada or Holland, though if Tom Sermanni’s women don’t improve greatly, then they’ll likely be on their way home with three defeats in the bag.

Regardless of how we look at the games already played in this group, it’s impossible to say that Cameroon haven’t been better than New Zealand. Both Holland and Canada were tested far more by the Africans, who look too big in the betting ahead of this match.

Both at the back and going forward, Cameroon look stronger than New Zealand, so it’s very easy to feel that a bet supporting the African side offers punters value at the current prices. With Cameroon averaging 0.74 expected goals for and 1.27 against, they’re backed to get the better of a New Zealand side averaging 0.41 for and 3.04 against.
