How does the New Zealand National Team arrive?
On the other hand, the visiting team, the New Zealand national team, has not had much activity. Without playing the World Cup and with only friendly matches, the New Zealanders started 2023 in a good way with a victory and a draw against China, however, in the second half of the year, their soccer performance dropped and they recorded a draw and three defeats, the most recent being on November 17 in a friendly match against Greece where the Greeks won by a score of 2-0.
How does arrive the Irish National Team?
The Irish national team failed to secure its ticket to Euro 2024 after sharing a difficult group with Gibraltar, Greece, the Netherlands and France, the latter two of which qualified for the European competition. With only 6 points after 8 matches played, Ireland said goodbye to their aspirations on November 18. The Irish faced the Dutch in their most recent encounter where they lost by the minimum thanks to a goal scored by Weghorst in the 11th minute.
