📜 History of Wales vs New Zealand

The history of the two teams’ matches can give you an early Wales vs New Zealand prediction of who will be the winner. There may be no guarantees in sports, but at least garnering as much information as you can means that you can be more satisfied with your selection. Let's break down the results.

That's a hefty deficit for Wales, but maybe the last five match results will give us a clue as to if there has been any recent development by Wales.

Well, there has not been much redemption for the Welsh in recent times - especially given that in their last encounter in the Autumn Nations Series 2021, Wales were smashed 16-54 by the All Blacks. The last time, in fact, that Wales beat the All Blacks was in 1953 at the old Cardiff Arms Park, so I think this indicator would give New Zealand as handing out another drumming to the UK side.

🌏 Comparison of World Rankings Rugby Union

I still can't believe such a time has come that New Zealand aren't featured in the top three in the world. Nevertheless, New Zealand will be laughing in fourth place compared to seventh place, Wales. The world rankings and all of the other indicators that we have seen so far seem more and more to be predicting a win for New Zealand.

✔️ Wales vs New Zealand Team Previews

Looking at recent form is always a great way to see which team will come out ahead after 80 minutes. Let's break down the recent form of both sides:

🐉 Wales Autumn Nations Series Team Preview

Wales had an awful Six Nations 2022, only managing one feeble win against Scotland, 20-17 at home. That left them fifth in the tournament, only just above Italy, whom left them with a surprise 21-22 loss in the dying weekend of the competition. Not only that, but Wales suffered another crushing blow when they were pushed aside by South Africa 2-1 in the Summer Internationals 2022. All in all, what rugby fans have seen from Wales has been nowhere near their best, and things do not bode well, going into a clash against a world-renowned team like New Zealand.

🥝 New Zealand Autumn Nations Series Preview

The All Blacks have fared much differently over 2022. Ian Foster's job may be on the line, with criticism that he is coaching the 'worst All Blacks ever', but with four wins out of six matches and an overall first place in the Rugby Championship 2022, alongside an early 31-38 win in their Autumn Nations Series 2022 warm-up against Japan, the Kiwis are in decidedly better form than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts. All in all, recent results from the All Blacks point to them notching up another win at the Principality Stadium this weekend.

🕵️ Our Wales vs New Zealand Prediction Winner

I think this is a pretty open-and-shut case for me: Wales will put up the best fight they can, but I am going wholeheartedly with New Zealand to win. All indicators point that way, and I think only a miracle for Wales or the All Blacks not mentally turning up to play to shift the tide. Given the pressure on the boys in black at the moment, however, I think the Kiwis will be on the war path from the first whistle. My hope is that us rugby fans at least get to see a good 80 minutes of rugby rather than a first half where the writing is on the wall and a second half of going through the motions.

💶 Wales vs New Zealand Betting Tips

Odds of 1.16 are understandably short for this match, so may not seem worth it for some. My best intuition tells me that it will be the All Blacks' mentality which decides whether this will be a close win for them or end in a cricket score. I would say the All Blacks to win (-9.5 points) at odds of 1.64 represents a nice balance between lengthening yours odds and still keeping things safer than some of the larger handicaps, on the chance that New Zealand don't show up with their usual killer instinct.
