New Zealand is on the brink of securing a spot in the quarter-finals at the Paris 2024 Olympics as they prepare to take on the USA Group A clash at Stade Velodrome.

After never progressing beyond the group stage until the last Olympics, New Zealand finds themselves in a promising position to reach the knockout rounds once again.

Matthew Garbett and Ben Waine's goals, sandwiching an Amadou Diawara equalizer, secured a crucial win for the South Pacific nation in Nice. Now, they aim for another victory to seal a spot in the quarter-finals.

While a draw would put Darren Bazeley's team on the verge of qualification, a win on Saturday would confirm their progression to the quarter-finals for the second consecutive Games.

On the other hand, the United States are determined to thwart New Zealand's ambitions, knowing that anything less than a win could spell elimination unless Guinea upsets France in the group's other match.

Despite a 3-0 loss to France at the Velodrome, statistical measures indicated that Marko Mitrovic's squad created more clear-cut chances than Thierry Henry's side.

The Team USA returns to Marseille eager to avoid a second consecutive defeat, which could prematurely end their tournament hopes. Since their last appearance in Beijing 2008, where they exited despite accumulating four points, Mitrovic's team is keen to avoid a similar fate by securing maximum points on Saturday, building momentum for their final group encounter against Guinea.
