Switzerland — Algeria 2:0: The Obvious Score Hid Plenty

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Switzerland national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Qatar — Switzerland) — Murat Yakin.
How many players are in the Switzerland national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 9, midfielders — 8, attackers — 6.
How often do Switzerland's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 6 matches — average Crime Index 43, with 2 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 2-1 home win over Canada is Switzerland's single most anomalous covered match out of 6 reviewed, Crime Index 77% — well above the team's 43% average across those matches. By chance quality, the final score doesn't appear to have fully reflected the run of play.
Finishing lines up almost exactly with the model
Across the 6 matches with calculated xG, Switzerland generated 9.52 expected goals and scored 10 — a small, statistically insignificant positive gap. A team without obvious extremes: the chances it creates almost always translate logically into the final score, which makes the Canada win read as a standout rather than a typical result.
Average Crime Index is a typical figure for the site
A 43% average across 6 matches is close to the typical range: Switzerland's results have largely tracked the quality of play, and the Canada win stands out against that calm backdrop.
