Why this matters:
This contract asks whether New Zealand will score fewer goals than any other team in their World Cup group during the tournament's opening stage. At 13%, the market suggests a low but meaningful probability. New Zealand's offensive capability relative to their group opponents, combined with historical goal-scoring patterns, drives the current odds. The probability will clarify significantly once group assignments are finalized and teams begin their matches in mid-June 2026. Key drivers include New Zealand's squad strength and recent attacking performance compared to group rivals, and whether they face particularly strong defensive opponents that could limit scoring opportunities.

Key factors:
- New Zealand's group composition once revealed—playing stronger offensive teams increases the likelihood of fewest goals
- Historical World Cup goal-scoring data for New Zealand versus typical group-stage opponents and tournament averages
- Comparative offensive firepower and recent goal-scoring records of teams in New Zealand's assigned group
- Injury status and availability of New Zealand's key attacking players approaching the tournament
- Group stage schedules and opponent quality—fixtures against stronger teams may suppress New Zealand's goal total relative to weaker group members

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
