The most recent was a 1-0 victory in March of 2024 in a FIFA Series friendly.New ZealandNew Zealand was a significant underdog in its opening match against Iran, so the Kiwis were happy to come away with a 2-2 draw behind two goals by Elijah Just.EgyptMuch like New Zealand, Egypt was an underdog in its opening match. It took on the Group G favorite, Belgium, and played to a 1-1 draw. New Zealand vs. Egypt Best Prop BetIn today's edition of my Best World Cup Goal Scorer Bets Today, I made the case for betting on Elijah Just to score his third goal of the tournament:Elijah Just scored both goals for New Zealand in its first match of the tournament, and he's seventh amongst all players in expected goals at 1.47. Despite that, the betting market has him fifth on the odds list to score for New Zealand against Egypt. I'll absolutely jump on him to score at +625.New Zealand vs. Egypt Prediction and Best BetMy best bet for this match is for both teams to score. I broke down why in today's edition of my Best World Cup Bets Today:I don't know if New Zealand is going to do enough to win this game, but they managed +0.77 expected goals in their first game against Iran, the eighth-highest mark amongst all teams in the first round of the group stage. Their defense was bad, but if they can continue their aggressive offensive style of soccer, I'm willing to bet on both teams finding the back of the net at least once in this match.Pick: Both Teams to Score (+120)Follow Iain on X and InstagramBet $1, get 100% profit boost on your next 10 bets when you claim your Caesars Sportsbook new user promo using code ‘SICZRDYW’.
