New Zealand:
New Zealand will be aiming to secure a place in the quarter-finals at the Paris 2024 Olympics when they face host nation France in Group A on Tuesday. After starting their campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Guinea, thanks to goals from Matthew Garbett and Ben Waine, New Zealand suffered a setback with a 4-1 defeat to the United States. Darren Bazeley's men will need a win to guarantee their spot in the last eight, but even a draw might suffice if Guinea manages to upset Team USA in the other group match. New Zealand, who reached the knockout stages for the first time in 2020, will need to be at their best against an unbeaten French side.
France:
France, having already secured a place in the quarter-finals for the first time since 1996, will look to maintain their perfect record in Group A against New Zealand. Les Blues started with a commanding 3-0 win over Team USA, followed by a tense 1-0 victory over Guinea, where Kiliann Sildillia scored the decisive goal. With Thierry Henry at the helm, the hosts have emerged as strong contenders for the gold medal, aiming to add to their 1984 triumph. France's solid form and home advantage make them the favorites to top the group and continue their pursuit of Olympic glory.
