England Dominate H2H
This is going to be the third time these two sides lock horns. England won both previous meetings without conceding.
Tuchel's Side Tagged Favorite
The Three Lions had an impeccable run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, finishing top of Group K ahead of Albania, Serbia, Latvia and Andorra with eight wins in eight matches while conceding zero goals.
They wrapped things up with a 2-0 road win against Albania where Harry Kane netted a brace in the second half.
Thomas Tuchel’ side failed to impress in recent friendlies. After a 1-1 draw against Uruguay where they conceded in stoppage time, England were beaten in their most recent appearance by Japan 1-0 at Wembley.
All Whites Coming Off a Disastrous Performance
New Zealand also made it to the World Cup 2026, winning the Australian qualifiers with convincing playoff victories against Fiji 7-0 and New Caledonia 3-0.
They participated in a new type of tournament earlier this year called the FIFA Series, starting with a 2-0 defeat to Finland, registering just two shots on target and posting 0.32 xG here.
New Zealand did much better job in the follow up clash against Chile, claiming a 4-1 victory to ultimately win second place in this mini tournament. Jesse Randall was named man of the match with one goal and one assist.
A couple of days ago, the All Whites were crushed by another World Cup 2026 participant Haiti 4-0 despite being tagged favorites.

Verdict
All signs are pointing at one-sided match in Tampa. England’s results in the WC qualifiers are intimidating, while New Zealand struggled in recent friendlies, so I am backing the Three Lions to win to nil.
