Frequently Asked Questions
How many players are in the Ecuador national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 6, midfielders — 9, attackers — 8.
How often do Ecuador's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 4 matches — average Crime Index 49, with 1 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
Across the 4 matches with calculated xG, Ecuador generated 5.85 expected goals but scored only 2 — a shortfall of nearly 4 goals against the model, one of the largest under-conversion figures among any national team at the tournament on this site. It's a systemic trait across the entire available sample, not the result of one off night.
The home draw with Curaçao is a direct consequence
The single most anomalous covered match out of 4 is a goalless home draw with Curaçao, Crime Index 81%. The team's average across those same matches is 49% — meaning even setting that specific game aside, the team already looks more volatile than a typical side at the tournament on this site.
The gap between xG and goals is the more telling detail
A team under-performing its xG this badly across four matches will regularly land in games with a high Crime Index simply because the quality of its chances systematically fails to match the scoreline — the Curaçao draw isn't an anomaly on its own, it's the logical expression of a broader finishing problem for Ecuador.
