New Zealand's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Colombia and Canada, having failed to win in their last six outings. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in five consecutive matches.
France are heading into this match following a defeat to Canada in the Group A on July 28. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.
