New Zealand vs Egypt 1:3 — Egypt Converted Their Territorial Edge
Egypt beat New Zealand 3-1 in the group stage, backing up their xG edge (1.87 to 1.24) with the actual scoreline.
Argentina vs Egypt 3:2: Early Shock, Late Control
What did not happen was panic. Egypt scored first at 15 through Ibrahim, Messi missed a penalty at 21, and that sequence usually invites a distorted match.
Australia — Egypt 1:1: Egypt Won The Argument
Egypt led from the 13th minute and surrendered parity to the only kind of goal a defence scores itself. Australia and Egypt drew 1:1: Ashour opened the scoring, and Hany's own goal on 55 cancelled it.
Egypt — Iran 1:1: The Better Chances Went Unpaid
One side had the ball, the other had the chances, and the points were split down the middle. Egypt and Iran drew 1:1, a result that suited the participants more than the statistics.
Belgium vs Egypt 1-1 — An Own Goal Salvages a Point
Belgium and Egypt played out a 1-1 draw at the group stage with a close xG reading (1.35 to 1.08).
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Egypt national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Argentina — Egypt) — Hossam Hassan.
How many players are in the Egypt national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 4, defenders — 9, midfielders — 8, attackers — 5.
How often do Egypt's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 5 matches — average Crime Index 34, with 0 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 3-1 road win over New Zealand is Egypt's single most anomalous covered match out of 5 reviewed, Crime Index 50% — squarely in the middle of the site's scale. A moderate figure, but still above the team's own 34% average across the same matches, one of the lower figures among any national team at the tournament on this site.
The team plays notably more predictably than average
That low average Crime Index means Egypt's results have almost always tracked the quality of chances created, and the New Zealand win is a rare, but not extreme, deviation from that norm.
Finishing runs slightly ahead of the model
Across the 5 matches with calculated xG, Egypt generated 6.09 expected goals and scored 8 — a small, consistent positive gap. Combined with the low Crime Index volatility, that paints a team creating chances that broadly match its results, while finishing them a touch more efficiently than their quality alone would suggest — a rare and favorable combination at the tournament.
