The Haitian national team performed well in the qualifying stage of the World Cup. In their qualifying group, the team took first place, ahead of Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The Haitians qualified for the World Cup for the second time in their history - the first participation was back in 1974. In March, Sebastian Mignet's team played two friendly matches and performed quite well - they lost minimally to Tunisia (0:1) and drew with Iceland (1:1).
The New Zealand national team has no competitors in Oceania, so it is unlikely that the guests had a chance to miss the World Cup. The team predictably skated over its rivals - in the final play-off matches, the New Zealanders defeated Fiji (7:0) and New Caledonia (3:0). At the World Cup, the guests will play in a group with Iran, Egypt and Belgium, there is every chance of getting into the playoffs. In the last friendly match, New Zealand defeated the national team of Chile (4:1), ending an eight-match unbeaten streak.
It is difficult to single out a clear favorite in this confrontation. Even the FIFA ranking speaks about this: the hosts occupy the 83rd place in it, and the guests - the 85th. In a friendly match, the opponents are unlikely to try to win at all costs, but the priority is to get in shape before the World Cup. It is very likely that the first ever face-to-face match between Haiti and New Zealand will end in a draw.
