BEL vs NZ Dream 11 Hockey | New Zealand vs. Belgian FIH Pro League Preview
Auckland, 01 February at 11:30 am IST












Black Stick of New Zealand takes Belgium to its second FIH Pro league tie in North Harbor, Auckland. The hosts have added Dominic Newman to the side because they look at more aggressive approaches. Black Sticks came back from the rear (3-0 down) to score three, but eventually the game was lost 4-3. The inspired return will give them a great opportunity to rely on World Champions, Belgium.





On the other hand, Belgium has played two games in the competition. They could not take the world cup winning momentum into the opening game, which they lost to Spain. Belgium returned to the second game against Argentina.





Head-to-Head (* from 2013)





Played - 7; New Zealand - 2, Belgium - 5
