Australia and New Zealand will renew their trans-Tasman rivalry in another international friendly this Tuesday. The two nations meet in a second buildup in a week, hosted in Canberra. Read on to find our prediction for the match.
In their first clash on Friday, Soceroos debutant Max Balard scored the lone goal as Australia beat New Zealand. That extended New Zealand’s winless run in this fixture spanning back to over 20 years.
It was also their second straight defeat after earlier falling 2-1 to Ukraine. Earlier in matches featuring largely Oceania nations, New Zealand had gone on a seven-match winning streak.
Facing Australia will offer a better measure of their preparedness for the 2026 World Cup.
Australia’s preparations for their sixth straight World Cup appearance are in order, and they come here with the better run of form. The 1-0 win on Friday made it four straight wins over New Zealand in the last three years.
In all those victories, they kept clean sheets. Australia are also on five straight wins and a run of 10 unbeaten matches since the shock loss to Bahrain in September 2024.
That stands as their only defeat in the past 15 matches, and the Socceroos are favorites to extend this run. Conceding only once in the last four games will also be a source of positivity for the team.

Our New Zealand vs Australia Prediction
Australia have everything going in their favor ahead of this match. On Friday, they claimed the bragging rights in this matchup with a 1-0 win. That was their fourth straight victory and clean sheet in this fixture across the last three years. Australia have now posted five straight wins and will feel even more confident being on a 10-game undefeated run.
On the other hand, New Zealand have suffered back-to-back defeats ahead of this match and have generally struggled against opponents as strong as Australia. Our prediction for this latest New Zealand v Australia meeting is that Australia wins the match.
