Goal Statistics

Austria have been awful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive World Cup matches. This run could continue, with Spain's PG an impressive 2.2.

A truly awful PG of just 0.6 should cause concerns for Austria fans, as should a 5 World Cup matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
