New Zealand vs Ukraine Prediction 11 June 2025

The All Whites come into the game riding an impressive wave of seven straight victories, though most have come against lower-ranked opposition from Oceania. Their recent victims include Tahiti (3:0), Malaysia (4:0), Vanuatu (8:1), Samoa (8:0), Fiji (7:0), New Caledonia (3:0), and most notably, a narrow 1:0 win over Côte d'Ivoire. While these results highlight New Zealand's ability to dominate weaker sides, they don’t offer much insight into how they’ll fare against a European opponent with more technical and tactical depth.

Ukraine, meanwhile, continues to grapple with inconsistency at the highest level. In March, they were outclassed by Belgium across two Nations League legs (1:3 and 0:3), and just days ago, they were stunned 2:4 by Canada in a friendly. Despite the recent setbacks, Ukraine remains the more experienced and talented side on paper. However, their defensive structure has become alarmingly porous, raising concerns ahead of Euro 2024.

Given Ukraine's fragility at the back and New Zealand's recent scoring form, it wouldn't be surprising to see the underdogs find the net. While Ukraine should still be favorites to win, New Zealand will likely have their moment, especially if the Blue-Yellows continue to leak goals under pressure.
