📊 Team Statistics Belgium average: • 2.23 goals per game • 2.22 xG per game • 16.7 shots per game • 7.6 corners per game Egypt are expected to spend long periods defending, which should favour Belgium in both possession and territory. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤖 Model Insight Belgium’s attacking profile and corner numbers make them clear favourites to dominate the majority of match metrics. Meanwhile, the referee averages close to 5 yellow cards per game, making the Over 1.5 Match Cards line particularly attractive.

❌ 0.75U LOSS Neither leg managed to get over the line. Scotland found the breakthrough but Haiti couldn’t convert despite creating several promising opportunities, while Turkey failed to justify their statistical edge and were beaten 2-0 by Australia. A frustrating result given both selections had realistic paths to landing.

❌ 1U LOSS Spain completely dominated the match and created enough chances to cover the handicap, but a combination of poor finishing and stubborn Cape Verde resistance resulted in a frustrating 0-0 draw despite overwhelming control throughout.

❌ 0.75U LOSS Switzerland controlled the match from start to finish, dominating possession (68%), shots (26-7), shots on target (8-4) and corners (10-3), but a costly lapse in concentration allowed Qatar to equalise in the 95th minute. The Swiss had more than enough chances to put the game beyond doubt but ultimately paid the price for their complacency.
