Cabo Verde

Across the sample, Cabo Verde were compact and clearance-heavy, while some games also showed low-value shot profiles or constrained central progress.

Against Spain and Uruguay, Cabo Verde stayed compact and cleared heavily to absorb pressure.

One match showed a late attacking spell; another showed the strongest xG after halftime.

In the Saudi Arabia game, Cabo Verde had slightly more possession and far more shot quality in a 0-0 draw.

In the Argentina game, most attempts came from outside the box and the shot profile skewed low-value.

Saudi Arabia's setup limited Cabo Verde's central progress enough that many shots were blocked or came from lower-value areas.
