Deduction Prediction: Algeria vs Austria

Statistical Edge

Tactical Read

Algeria should control more of the ball. Their passing numbers are excellent: 562 accurate passes per game, 62% possession, and 86.1% pass accuracy in the opposition half. They also offer more 1v1 threat, with 11 successful dribbles per match.

The concern is efficiency. Algeria average 12 shots per game but only 1 goal per match, with an 8% conversion rate.

Austria are less dominant on the ball but more clinical. They average 1.5 goals per game, 5.5 shots on target, and 2.5 big chances per match. Their aerial strength could also trouble Algeria, especially from crosses and set pieces.
