The New Zealand U17 national team match against the Mexico U17 in 3e ronde of the FIFA U17 World Cup on Saturday, November 18, 2023 will be held at the Stadion Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Soreang.
New Zealand U-17 will face a tough challenge when they meet Mexico U-17 in the final Group F match of the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup which will be held in Indonesia. This match will be a test for both teams, especially for Mexico who still has a chance to win a ticket to the round of 16.
New Zealand qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup with the status of Oceania champions. They showed impressive performance in the OFC U-17 Championship 2023 by winning all their matches. They also have a sharp attacking line, scoring 20 goals and conceding only three goals in the tournament. However, they have never faced a team as strong as Mexico U-17 at international level. They must increase concentration and discipline if they want to achieve positive results.
Mexico qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup with Concacaf champion status. They demonstrated their dominance in the North, Central America and Caribbean region by winning five of their six matches at the 2023 U-17 Concacaf.
They also have a solid backline with only four goals conceded in the tournament. However, they must not be careless and underestimate the New Zealand U-17s who also have high motivation. They must play with intensity and creativity if they want to secure the top of the standings.
This match will be the first meeting between the two teams in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The two teams have never met before in any official competition. This will be an opportunity for both teams to show their abilities and character on the world stage.
Both teams have several key players who could be the deciding factor in this match. New Zealand U-17 coach Martin Bullock is expected to rely on Luke Stuart Supyk, the striker who became their top scorer in the 2023 OFC U-17 Championship with six goals. He also has speed and sharpness that can threaten the Mexico U-17 defense.
On the other hand, Mexico U-17 coach Raul Chabrand is expected to rely on Stephano Emmanuel Calderón, the striker who became their hero at Concacaf U-17 2023 by scoring a total of 8 goals. Apart from that, Mexico U-17 also has José Urías, a striker who scored five goals at Concacaf U-17 2023.
Based on statistics and performance, both teams have high quality and ambition, and want to close the group phase with a win. However, Mexico U-17 has the advantage in terms of experience and maturity. They also have a more balanced and varied squad.
