Uzbekistan vs Colombia 1:3 — Goals from Muñoz and Díaz in Different Halves Sealed the Win
Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3-1, backing up a modest xG edge (1.61 to 1.16).
Portugal vs Uzbekistan 5:0 — A Ronaldo Brace and a Statistically Rare Rout
Portugal thrashed Uzbekistan 5-0 in the Round of 32, and while Roberto Martinez's side were clear favorites on xG (2.61 to 0.24), the model rates this exact scoreline at only around 11% probability.
Congo DR — Uzbekistan 3:1: Missing Often, Winning Anyway
Accuracy is an overrated virtue when the chances arrive in bulk. Congo DR beat Uzbekistan 3:1 while sending 14 shots off target — more than its opponent attempted at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Uzbekistan national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Uzbekistan — Colombia) — Fabio Cannavaro.
How many players are in the Uzbekistan national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 7, midfielders — 11, attackers — 5.
How often do Uzbekistan's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 3 matches — average Crime Index 60, with 1 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 0-5 road loss to Portugal carries a Crime Index of 80% — one of the highest figures on the entire site. It's Uzbekistan's single most anomalous covered match out of 3 reviewed — the same match also shows up as Portugal's own peak anomaly, marking a rare rout for a tournament debutant.
The team's average sits well below that peak
A 60% average across 3 matches is among the higher figures for a national team on this site, though well below the Portugal match's peak value: even setting that loss aside, the team already looks more volatile than the typical tournament entrant.
Finishing lines up almost exactly with the model
Across the 3 matches with calculated xG, Uzbekistan generated 1.67 expected goals and scored 2 — a small, statistically insignificant positive gap. With a modest number of chances created, the Portugal rout reads as a question of the class gap rather than a signal of a finishing problem for the tournament debutant.
