Netherlands vs Sweden 5:1 — Braces from Brobbey and Gakpo Sealed the Rout
The Netherlands thrashed Sweden 5-1, backing up their xG edge (2.61 to 1.01).
France — Sweden 3:0 — The Most Honest Scoreline
France scored almost exactly what they created: 3.17 xG, three goals, a 0.95 conversion rate. No hot streak, no fortune — just 25 shots of sustained pressure. Sweden''s goalkeeper made nine saves and still lost by three.
Japan — Sweden 1:1: Twenty Fouls Cut The Game Apart
Nobody deserved more. Japan built the better chances — 1.21 xG to 0.64 — while Sweden kept the sharper edge, converting at 1.56 and forcing eight corners. The 1:1 draw at a 50% Crime Index split the difference honestly.
Sweden vs Tunisia 5-1 — Five Goals and an Ayari Brace
Sweden thrashed Tunisia 5-1 in the group stage, backing up an xG edge (1.33 to 0.28) with exceptional finishing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Sweden national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Sweden — Tunisia) — Graham Potter.
How many players are in the Sweden national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 8, midfielders — 12, attackers — 3.
How often do Sweden's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 4 matches — average Crime Index 66, with 2 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
Across the 4 matches with calculated xG, Sweden generated 3.63 expected goals and scored 7 — almost double the model's figure, one of the most clinical finishing profiles among national teams on this site. A gap that size across just four matches is a rare and telling level of finishing efficiency.
The Tunisia rout follows naturally from that finishing
The team's single most anomalous covered match is a 5-1 home win over Tunisia, Crime Index 93% — one of the highest figures on the entire site. Against a 66% average across all 4 matches, that result stands out — but read against Sweden's overall clinical finishing, it looks less like a random spike; the same match also shows up as Tunisia's own peak anomaly.
One of the tournament's most prolific finishing profiles in the database
7 goals across 4 matches with calculated xG is a rare figure even among the strongest teams on this site: the national team consistently converts chances into goals more efficiently than their quality alone would suggest, and the Tunisia rout is the natural continuation of that pattern, not an exception to it.
