New Zealand enters this match after a tough stretch, having lost their last three fixtures. Their last victory came against Chile in March, but since then, they have struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score in their last two outings. With a 15-day gap since their last match, they should be well-rested, but the lack of competitive play could affect their sharpness. Fortunately, they have no injuries or suspensions to contend with, allowing them to field their best squad.
