Stats
New Zealand can set a new national World Cup group-stage record of 5 consecutive matches unbeaten by avoiding defeat (currently on 4).
New Zealand are one of 8 teams to have made zero changes to their starting XI between their first two matches (level with Colombia, DR Congo, Egypt, Germany, Norway, Senegal and Sweden) — and have used just 17 distinct players overall, the joint-second-fewest of any team, level with DR Congo, England, Panama and Saudi Arabia.
New Zealand have won none of their last 8 World Cup matches, going 0W-4D-4L with 7 goals scored and 19 goals conceded. A repeat in their next match would be their longest such run in World Cup history.
Egypt have won none of their last 7 World Cup matches (0W-2D-5L).
