Auckland vs Tottenham Prediction 26 July 2026
Tottenham continue their pre-season preparations and will play in New Zealand for the first time in 50 years. For Roberto De Zerbi's side, this is the second friendly of the summer - after the win over MK Dons - while reigning A-League champions Auckland are going through a difficult stretch following their title-winning season and a change of manager. For the hosts, a match against a Premier League club is a serious test for their rebuilt squad.

📊 The two sides have never met before.
Head-to-head statistics Auckland - Tottenham
Auckland FC Team Overview
The team's last official match was played on in the A-League (Auckland at home, Sydney away). The match ended 1-0.
Match stats (Auckland vs Sydney):
- possession: 38% vs 62%;
- corners: 4 vs 2;
- fouls: 12 vs 8;

- shots on target: 2 vs 2.
Auckland come into this match as reigning A-League champions, but the club lost head coach Steve Corica almost immediately after winning the title. Luke Casserly is in charge on an interim basis while the club finalises talks with a new manager. The off-season has been difficult too - several key players from the title-winning squad have left, with midfielder Lachlan Bayliss the most notable arrival.
There are squad problems to deal with as well. Defenders Callan Elliott and Nando Pijnaker are still on post-World Cup leave, which forced the club to sign Aaron Calver on short notice. Up front, Sam Cosgrove is the main attacking threat, while experienced heads Hiroki Sakai and Francis de Vries are expected to help the team hold their shape against a higher-quality opponent.

Spurs brought a strong squad to Oceania, including Sandro Tonali, though several players are missing after the World Cup. Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Jed Spence, Marcos Senesi, Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero all stayed behind. Guglielmo Vicario has also picked up a minor injury, with his potential move to Juventus still doing the rounds in the press. New signings and younger players are expected to get minutes, including 17-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Auckland come into this match with notable defensive absences and will likely try to stay compact against Premier League opposition. Tottenham are just getting their pre-season going - the first match under Roberto De Zerbi ended in a 1-0 win. The numbers back a low-scoring game too: Tottenham's last six matches have seen no more than three goals, and Auckland have gone under 3.5 in 26 of their previous 33. The pick here is total goals under 3.5.
