Oceania qualifying, second round prediction - day one

In one of many official competitions, this morning one confederation resumes its qualifying campaign towards Russia. Situated in the Pacific Ocean, Papua New Guinea is welcoming eight best teams from Oceania region divided into two groups by four. In reverse order today we are going to see first two games from the second group - group B.

- New Zealand - Fiji. In the first game, starting from 08.00 CET, New Zealand is trying to make its third attempt towards the World Cup finals. At the last appearance the All Whites were a tough team to beat, and after Australia is now gone competing in Asia, New Zealand are considering new favorites in Oceania. On the other hand Fiji's football is improving but its slowly coping with the best teams in the region. In its previous meetings both teams are having a win, but today 'home team' New Zealand is a clear favorite to take the game.
- Vanuatu - Solomon Islands. From 11.00 CET is the last game of the day. Vanuatu seems to be the only team from this group who can oppose strong New Zealand. The team are playing some excellent games full of strong passion and desire for a win and can easily beat Solomon Islands who are playing some dreadful football lately.

These qualifiers are also joint with the official OFC 2016 Nations Cup tournament which means that the final winner is going to represent this region into the next year's Confederations Cup in Russia.
