Raymond James Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited friendly as England take on New Zealand in their final preparations ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, we predict a routine 3-0 home win. England will be eager to respond after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Japan, though several high-profile names are unavailable. Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Gibbs-White have all been left out of the World Cup squad, while Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Noni Madueke are unlikely to start after featuring in the Champions League final. Despite those absences, England remain in strong form, winning 70% of their last 10 matches and averaging 2.20 goals scored per game.
New Zealand head into the match on the back of a disappointing 4-0 loss to Haiti, a result that highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities. The All Whites have struggled against stronger opposition and will need a much-improved display to contain England's attacking depth. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the England clash. As always, a man to watch in the away side will be Nottingham Forrest attacker Chris Wood.
Considering England's superior quality and stronger recent form, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside England to Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals (England average 2.20 goals per game and should create plenty of chances).
This match will be played on Saturday 6 June 2026 at 21:00.
