Their key pass success rate stands at 74%, significantly higher than their opponents. Furthermore, they demonstrate a clear advantage in midfield control, holding a 58% control rate, coupled with rapid transition play, completing counterattacks in an average of 12 seconds. Their physical conditioning is also a factor, with a total running distance exceeding 102km and a high-intensity sprint count surpassing the Warriors by over 10%, indicating a capacity to sustain pressure.
