Fiji - Vanuatu

Fiji host Vanuatu with honours even in recent meetings

Recent form points different ways

Fiji have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches. That run includes a 7-0 defeat and a 3-3 draw in their two most recent outings. Vanuatu have won one and lost four of their last five, the sole victory coming in the 2-0 win over Fiji. Their four defeats came against NZL, TAH, FIJ and PNG.

Five meetings, eleven goals

The five head-to-head meetings on record have produced eleven goals in total. Fiji have won two, Vanuatu have won two, and one finished goalless. Three of the five were decided by a single goal, and no result in the sequence has been decided by more than two goals. The pattern suggests tight contests, and nothing in the recent results argues against another.
