Sweden vs New Zealand match preview
New Zealand have traveled to Europe for a double-header of friendlies this week, also facing Qatar in Austria on Monday, so can they claim a positive result or two?
12 months ago, the All Whites missed out on a place at the World Cup, beaten 1-0 by Costa Rica in the inter-confederation play-offs.
So, New Zealand haven’t featured in a World Cup since 2010, ousted in the play-offs each time subsequently, although the expanded format means OFC is guaranteed spot going forward, which they’ll always be likely to take.
Thus, Darren Bazeley’s team are fully focussed on 2026 qualification, with this continuing their preparation.
Last time out, back in March, New Zealand faced China in a double-header on home soil, held to a goalless draw in Auckland before a 2-1 victory in Wellington, in which Matthew Garbett was on target.
Now, up against top-tier opposition, the All Whites will need to be at their best.
The Blågult enjoyed mixed results back in March, smashed 3-0 by Belgium in their qualifiying opener, before demolishing Azerbaijan 5-0 three days later.
Emil Forsberg, Viktor Gyökeres, Jesper Karlsson and Anthony Elanga all on target in Solna.
With Belgium likely to top Group F, Sweden’s head-to-head games against Austria are likely to be decisive, the first of which is coming up on Tuesday when Janne Andersson’s travel to Vienna.
Of course, Austria still have to go to Stockholm in September, but next week’s game at Ernst-Happel-Stadion will go along way to determining if Sweden qualify automatically, or enter the lottery that is the play-offs.
With that high-stakes game to come, preparation is key, so will the Blue and Yellows prove too strong for New Zealand at Friends Arena?
