169 yellows, average of 3.93 per game
9 reds, average of 0.21 per game
7 penalties, average of 0.16 per game

Suggestions:
Hard to see a New Zealand win in all honesty.
I would look to the Slovakia on the Asian handicaps or the Draw no Bet market. Take a look at the links below.
A way to get good value, is to look at the half time/full time market where Slovakia to be winning at half time and full time is currently @ 5's. This market wont be going in play so there will be no potential to lay.

Look out for updates on Twitter closer to kick off and during the game as things will change massively
