Egypt to edge New Zealand 0-2 in Vancouver at $1.60

Egypt at $1.60 is the call, with our model - World cup 2026 tips world cup 2026 model putting them at 47% to take this one in Vancouver. New Zealand’s defence sits at a beta of 1.43, which is leaky, and Egypt’s expected goals of 1.47 lines up with a tidy away win against a side that’s been getting picked off.

New Zealand opened their tournament with a 2-2 against Iran - Espn story _ id 49074981 2026 fifa world cup spain cape verde belgium egypt uruguay saudi arabia iran new zealand recap, which sounds plucky until you look at the friendlies before it: 0-1 to England, 0-4 to Haiti, 0-2 to Ecuador. They cannot keep clean sheets but they don’t score much either, averaging under a goal in our model. That suits the under 2.5 line.

Egypt held Belgium 1-1 in their opener - Soccer story _ id 49094186 fifa world cup power rankings spain brazil germany usa mexico england argentina and even led for stretches. With Salah and Marmoush carrying the threat and a defence that drew 0-0 with Spain in March, this is a side that grinds out low scoring wins. They’ve got the structure to choke New Zealand out.

KRUZEY’s tip: Egypt at $1.60, under 2.5 goals at $1.63, exact score 0-2 at $10.86. Confident in the win, the score line is the swing for value.
