Selling out EP for the Final seems optimistic. North of 35,000 would be a good effort. I'm sure the APL & Auckland FC will be judging the crowd size and game day atmosphere.
Sounds like will be a Bindon & Pijnaker starting CB combination

New Zealand Football is expecting a crowd close to 20,000 for the semifinal at Sky Stadium on Friday night and will be ramping up the marketing for the final in the hope of selling out Eden Park for the decider three days later as soon as the All Whites take care of business against Fiji.

With three players, Callum McCowatt, Joe Bell and Michael Boxall, only arriving in Wellington on Wednesday, Bazeley said he was yet to settle on a starting XI for the semifinal two days out from kick off.
It’s the biggest downside of having players spread across the globe.
It seems unlikely the late arrivers will be included from the start against Fiji, which could open the door for A-League trio Logan Rogerson, Alex Rufer and Nando Pijnaker to join right back contenders Tim Payne or Storm Roux in a starting XI that will otherwise consist of European-based professionals, spearheaded by Nottingham Forest star Wood – one of the English Premier League’s form strikers.
