WORLD CUP FANTASY – ROUND 2: BEST CLEAN SHEET ODDS
France are at the top, as they prepare to face Iraq in Round 2.
Didier Deschamps’ men sauntered through qualifying and often favour a defence-first approach when playing tournament football. Indeed, they kept four clean sheets in six matches at EURO 2024.
Iraq, meanwhile, were beaten 2-0 by Venezuela in their final World Cup warm-up match.
Spain rank as the second-most-likely team to keep a clean sheet in Round 2.
La Roja impressively won five of their six qualifiers to nil. They are on an extraordinary unbeaten streak, too, having not lost in 30 matches, a run that dates back to March 2024.
An encounter against Saudi Arabia offers another opportunity to reassert their defensive credentials.
Brazil (v Haiti), Ecuador (v Curacao) and Canada (v Qatar) also have clean sheet potential in Round 2.
Haiti certainly impressed against Scotland in their World Cup opener, yet they were unable to score.
Both Curacao and Qatar did find the net in Round 1, thereby wiping out the clean sheets of Germany and Switzerland. However, they generated only 0.38 and 0.55 expected goals (xG) respectively, some of the lowest tallies we’ve seen at the tournament so far:
10 other nations have clean sheet odds that range from 50% to 60%, including heavyweights England, Portugal and Belgium.
Haiti, Iraq and Saudi Arabia are at the bottom, each with less than 10% chance of keeping a shut-out in Round 2.
