Australia vs Egypt Stats, Match Statistics, xG & Player Data
(Dallas)
Australia vs Egypt stats start with a Round of 32 match at Dallas Stadium, where the Australia men’s national soccer team face the Egypt national football team on 3 July 2026. Egypt bring the stronger public tournament profile in goals, xG, shots, possession, chances created, and attacking leaders. Australia still carry a compact defensive base, with two clean sheets and a knockout route built on control without heavy shot volume.
Australia World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group D runner-up that beat Turkiye before losing to the United States and drawing with Paraguay. Egypt World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group G runner-up that stayed unbeaten against Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran. The World Cup 2026 Round of 32 bracket now sends both teams into a Dallas knockout match.
The match is listed for 2:00 PM ET at Dallas Stadium, which is 18:00 UTC on 3 July. It also belongs in the World Cup 2026 stats and records tracker because FOX public data gives Egypt a clear edge in xG and shot volume. Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official feed closes.

Australia’s public tournament data points to a lower-scoring path. FOX lists Australia at 0.7 goals, 0.7 xG, 8.3 shots, 48% average possession, and 7.0 chances created per game. The defensive line is stronger than the attack, because Australia have two clean sheets in the ESPN match summary.

Attacking Stats Comparison
Egypt have the higher attacking floor. Mohamed Salah leads the FOX player data with one goal, two assists, three shots on goal, and one player-of-the-match marker. Mostafa Zico also leads Egypt’s xG marker at 0.7, so Egypt’s threat is not tied to one action type.
Australia’s attacking profile is narrower. Connor Metcalfe leads the goals and shots-on-goal markers, while Nestory Irankunda leads the xG marker at 0.6. Paul Okon-Engstler adds one assist, which gives Australia one confirmed route from midfield into the final third.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Australia have the cleaner defensive record in the public tournament data. FOX lists Australia at 0.7 goals against per game, and ESPN lists two clean sheets. Patrick Beach also appears in FOX leaders with one player-of-the-match marker and a 25 keeper-save percentage marker.
Egypt concede slightly more but defend behind a stronger attacking platform. FOX lists Egypt at 1.0 goals against per game, with Mostafa Shoubir on a 24 keeper-save percentage marker. Egypt have no clean sheet listed in the ESPN summary, so game state could matter if Australia score first.

Chance creation gives Egypt a second possession-backed edge. Egypt average 10.7 chances created per game, while Australia average 7.0. Australia can still slow the match, yet they need cleaner counters because Egypt take 7.4 more shots per game.

Key Player Statistics
Salah gives Egypt the most complete public player line before kickoff. His goal, two assists, three shots on goal, and player-of-the-match marker explain why Australia’s defensive shape must stay compact. Yasser Ibrahim also leads the rating marker at 6.9, which gives Egypt another strong individual data point.
Australia need Metcalfe, Irankunda, and Beach to keep their roles clear. Metcalfe owns the main scoring marker, Irankunda owns the xG marker, and Beach owns the clean-sheet and goalkeeper markers. That split reflects Australia’s current profile: hard to break down, but still searching for repeatable chance volume.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Connor Metcalfe | Australia | 1 goal, 2 shots on goal |
| Nestory Irankunda | Australia | 0.6 xG in FOX leaders |
| Patrick Beach | Australia | 25% keeper-save marker, 2 clean sheets |
| Mohamed Salah | Egypt | 1 goal, 2 assists, 3 shots on goal |
| Mostafa Zico | Egypt | 0.7 xG in FOX leaders |
| Yasser Ibrahim | Egypt | 6.9 rating marker |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives Egypt the stronger pre-match profile. FOX lists Egypt at 1.4 xG per game and Australia at 0.7 xG per game. Egypt also take 15.7 shots per game, so their chance volume looks more sustainable.
Australia’s best statistical argument comes from defensive resistance. They concede 0.7 goals per game and have two clean sheets listed by ESPN, which can keep a knockout match close. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, goalkeeper saves, and blocked shots once the official feed closes.
