New Zealand still harbors hopes of qualifying for the knockouts but may need a positive result against France in their last group game. This Group A match will be played at the Stade de Marseille, Marseille, on Tuesday, with the prediction of a likely difficult match for New Zealand.
Ahead of this last round, the hosts, France, are at the top of the table in Group A with six points. They have already qualified for the knockouts and will confirm their top spot with a point from this match. New Zealand are third with three points, behind the second-placed USA on goal difference, and will be out to better the USA's result against Guinea.
After a 2-1 win over Guinea in their first match, it looked like the New Zealanders were on their way to knockouts. Yet, a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of the United States pegged them back. They are now dependent on the USA, but they still need a win to stay in contention. That could be tough to achieve against France, a side that has yet to concede a goal in this tournament.
France started with a 3-0 win over the United States and followed it with a 1-0 win over Guinea to confirm their passage to the knockouts. They need just a point from this match to qualify as the group leaders. Their defensive strengths will once again be the leading light, as they have kept a clean sheet in three of the last four U23 matches.

Our New Zealand vs France Prediction
France are running a tight ship in this tournament and have yet to concede a goal. They are already guaranteed a place in the knockouts, although they have yet to make the top spot their own. A draw here would be enough for that, and looking at their defensive record, that won’t be out of reach. New Zealand may have scored goals in both of their matches in this tournament, but France could be a step above. Our prediction for New Zealand vs France is for BTTS No.
