Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Saudi Arabia national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Spain — Saudi Arabia) — Georgios Donis.
How many players are in the Saudi Arabia national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 9, midfielders — 8, attackers — 6.
How often do Saudi Arabia's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 3 matches — average Crime Index 52, with 1 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 0-4 road loss to Spain is Saudi Arabia's single most anomalous covered match out of 3 reviewed, Crime Index 66% — well above the team's 52% average across those matches. By chance quality, the visitors don't appear to have deserved a defeat that heavy.
Finishing lines up almost exactly with the model
Across the 3 matches with calculated xG, the team generated 1.20 expected goals and scored 1 — a negligible, statistically insignificant shortfall. The limited number of chances created has largely been converted in line with their quality, which makes the Spain rout more a question of the class gap than a finishing problem.
Average Crime Index is above typical, but not a record
A 52% average across 3 matches is above the typical 40-50% range, suggesting moderate volatility for the national team even outside the Spain match.
