New Zealand vs Australia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 9th 2025

New Zealand will welcome Australia to Go Media Stadium in the second match of the 2025 Soccer Ashes on Tuesday. The two teams met in the first game in Canberra last week, and the Socceroos registered a 1-0 home win. The hosts have not won the series since 1923.

The All Whites suffered their second consecutive defeat and will look to bounce back in this home game. They also failed to score for the first time in 2025 in the loss last week.

The visitors maintained their 100% record in 2025 with a narrow win last week and will look to continue their dominance in the Ashes here. The first match of the series was closely contested, and debutant Max Balard scored the match-winner in the 87th minute, just two minutes after coming off the bench.
