Hello, in this match Egypt seems to be a higher level team both in terms of composition and recent results. The team includes players such as Salah and Marmoush, who individually outperform the majority of New Zealand football players.
New Zealand surprised with a 2:2 draw against Iran, but over a longer period of time their results against stronger teams have not been good. They have lost to England, Colombia, Ecuador, Australia, and often struggle to create chances against organized defenses.
In the first round, Egypt held Belgium to a 1:1 draw, and before that showed a solid defense against Spain (0:0) and won against Saudi Arabia 4:0. This shows that the team is capable of controlling matches and not necessarily playing an open, high-scoring style.
Under 4.5 is also a logical choice, as we rarely see Egypt games end with 5 or more goals. A pragmatic Peru will be enough for them, and the group situation requires them to first secure three points rather than take risks for more goals.
