One of the most predictable profiles at the tournament
Austria's average Crime Index across its 3 reviewed matches is 34% — one of the lowest figures among national teams on this site. That means the team's results have largely tracked the quality of chances created, with few sharp surprises. The single most anomalous covered match is a 3-1 home win over Jordan, Crime Index 53% — well above the team's own average, but a moderate figure by the site's overall standards.
Finishing slightly ahead of expectation
Across the 3 matches with calculated xG, Austria generated 2.54 expected goals and scored 3 — a small but positive margin. Combined with the low average Crime Index, that points to a team that not only matches the model's expectations on the scoreboard but also finishes slightly more efficiently than the quality of its chances alone would suggest — an unusual pairing of consistency and a modest finishing edge.
