USA vs. New Zealand, 2016 Friendly: Scouting New Zealand

New Zealand will look to improve upon its 2-1 loss against Mexico, as the Kiwis take on the United States Men’s National Team.

New Zealand is 0-2 all-time against the U.S., although both losses were 2-1 and the teams haven’t faced each other since 2003. New Zealand is in good form, going 4-1 in its last five matches. The team played well against Mexico despite not fielding a first choice starting XI.

The U.S. and New Zealand are likely to deploy experimental lineups featuring a mixture of veterans and younger newcomers. New Zealand typically lines up in a 4-4-2.
