Key Player Statistics
Gouiri gives Algeria their clearest finishing reference, while Mahrez remains the main creator. Maza’s xG marker suggests Algeria can threaten through central entries, not only wide service. Zidane’s goalkeeper row may matter if Austria turn fewer shots into higher-value chances.
Arnautovic is Austria’s key attacking reference. Schlager gives the midfield a creative marker, and Lienhart’s rating points to defensive stability. Austria need those players to protect their conversion edge against Algeria’s higher shot volume.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Amine Gouiri | Algeria | 1 goal, 2 shots on goal |
| Riyad Mahrez | Algeria | 1 assist in FOX leaders |
| Luca Zidane | Algeria | 29 keeper save marker, 0 clean sheets |
| Marko Arnautovic | Austria | 1 goal, 2 shots on goal, 1.0 xG |
| Xaver Schlager | Austria | 1 assist in FOX leaders |
| Alexander Schlager | Austria | 17 keeper save marker, 0 clean sheets |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives Algeria a narrow edge. Algeria sit at 1.2 xG per match, while Austria sit at 1.1. That difference is small, but it supports the wider theme of Algeria creating more volume.
Austria’s finishing has been more efficient, so xG alone does not decide the matchup. Algeria need their shot volume to become cleaner chances, while Austria need Arnautovic to keep converting limited looks. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, and goalkeeper saves once the official match feed closes.
