AUS vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction Australia vs New Zealand FIH Pro League Fantasy Hockey Tips
Goal-Keeper
If there’s any side capable of keeping a cleansheet today, its Australia to see us opt for Andrew Charter from the side.
Defenders
Although New Zealand have made for one of the worst defences, we are still going to be opting for Kane Russell from the side.
Its down to his drag flicks and ability to contribute up the field for the side. Australia on the other hand see the ever enterprising Jeremy Haryward and Matt Dawson feature for us.
Midfielders
Although Australia are floundering this season, Aran Zalewski has been impeccable as ever with his ball handling capabilities. Lachlan Sharp has scooped the ball with ease to spray it across the field for his team.
Steve Edwards assisted a goal for New Zealand the last time around to see him and Nick Ross form the one-two from the country.
Forwards
Sam Lane scored twice for New Zealand in their last appearance against Argentina.
Australia’s top scorer, Trent Mitton will slot in next to Tom Wickham who has the three goals to his name.
Captain And Vice-Captain
With him likely to score again today, Hayward is our captain while Zalewski is our vice-captain.
