New Zealand have only ever played in one World Cup and that was back in 1982. They didn't make it through the Group Stage then and they are very unlikely to improve on that performance.

New Zealand did well to qualify but if you look at the quality of opposition they faced in qualification, things will be a million times harder at the World Cup Finals.

New Zealand should simply be backed on Betfair to come bottom of their group, they are very unlikely to even score and even less likely to gain any points in their group.
There isn't a massive amount of money to be made on the spreads on New Zealand but by selling their group goals you should be able to make a small profit with no goals the most likely outcome.
