Match description
Typ 1X2: 2. New Zealand scored three goals in two matches, but after leading with Egypt she lost 1:3 and has only one point. Belgium drew both matches and scored only one goal so far, so she needs significant improvement in her performance. The Belgians' individual quality and the need to win give them an advantage, but their current form does not allow us to take it for granted. Our independent rating is 19% for New Zealand, 24% for draw and 57% for Belgium. The most likely outcome profile is 1:2 or 0:2; the type has 57% and takes into account motivation, rotation and the course of the first two rounds. Status: SMALL BET
