After a disappointing defeat in the first leg, New Zealand will look to bounce back when they host Australia's men's soccer team in the 2nd leg friendly clash on Tuesday.

Having already booked their spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026, New Zealand are currently engaged in a two-match friendly series against Australia, where they lost 0-1 in the first leg. Before this loss, the hosts fell 1-2 to Ukraine, and their eight-match winless streak was ended with that defeat.
