Solomon Islands vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting Tips - FIFA World Cup Qualifier

Prediction published on 02/09/2017, 09:00  by in Football Predictions

New Zealand were in dominant form in the first leg of this OFC final beating the Solomon Islands 6-1 at home. New Burnley signing Chris Wood hit a hat-trick and that's four goals in his last two games. If New Zealand do go on and win this tie then they have to face the fifth placed side in the South American group which at present is Argentina so it's still looking unlikely the Kiwis will make it to Russia next year. Six of the ten wins that New Zealand have had over their opponents would have won on a -2 handicap. The home side will have no option but to come out attacking but that will leave plenty of gaps for New Zealand to exploit. The Solomon Islands have won their last two home games but before that had lost the previous four. They have never beaten New Zealand so to suddenly expect them to put at least five past them now is just not going to happen. Go for New Zealand to finish the job off with a win on a -2 handicap.
