New Zealand vs Egypt: Pre-Match Opta Facts
- Egypt are unbeaten in their three previous matches against New Zealand, with two wins and one draw. These three friendlies produced only four goals (3 for Egypt, 1 for NZ), the latest coming in March 2024, a 1-0 win for Egypt in Cairo.
- New Zealand have drawn each of their last four FIFA World Cup games (all 3 in 2010 and vs IR Iran in 2026). Only Belgium have ever played out five successive draws at the finals (1998 to 2002).
- Only Honduras (9) have played more games at the FIFA World Cup without winning one than Egypt (8 – D3 L5). Indeed, Egypt have led in just two of their eight games at the finals, against Saudi Arabia in 2018 (lost 1-2) and Belgium this year (drew 1-1).
- Four of Egypt’s six FIFA World Cup goals have been scored in the first half (67%), the joint-highest percentage of any side with more than five goals at the finals (DPR Korea also 67%, 4/6). By contrast, 10 of their 13 goals conceded have been in second halves (77%), the highest ratio of any side to concede 10+.
