The rout by Argentina sets the anomaly ceiling
Algeria's single most anomalous covered match is a 0-3 road loss to Argentina, Crime Index 72% — one of the highest figures among national teams covered on this site. The team's average Crime Index across its 4 reviewed matches is 43%, meaning Algeria's results generally haven't diverged from expectation as sharply as they did against Argentina — that game is the outlier, not the norm.
Finishing slightly ahead of the model
Across the 4 matches with calculated xG, Algeria generated 4.54 expected goals and scored 5 — a small positive gap: the team finished marginally better than the chances it created would suggest. Set against the Argentina rout, that means Algeria's other matches were considerably closer contests than the tournament's worst scoreline for the team might imply — useful context for reading the individual match breakdowns below.
