Match Preview

A win for Belgium will see them finish in at least second place in their group. If they suffer a defeat against New Zealand, there is a chance they will finish in fourth.

New Zealand simply need to win in order to stand a chance of qualification. They currently sit bottom of the group, having failed to win any of their opening two games.

As it stands, if nothing changed, New Zealand would be eliminated. Belgium would be setting up a round of 32 tie against one of the hosts, Canada.
