As the start of the World Championship approaches and interest around the tournament grows day by day, the powerful supercomputer of the “Opta” platform has announced a new prediction that has caught the attention of both coaches and fans. According to its calculations, statistical analysis has determined which national teams are the closest contenders for the championship title.
The research results revealed that the Spain national team is the main contender for the tournament victory. The team, led by Luis De la Fuente, has a 17 percent chance of winning in the final. The steady growth of Spanish football in recent years and the balance between young talents and experienced players confirm these prospects.
The next contender in the race for the championship is France. Didier Deschamps’ national team holds second place with a 14.1 percent probability of victory. The depth of the squad, their swift gameplay, and versatility in attack keep them among the top favorites.
The England national team secured third place with an 11.8 percent rate. Thomas Tuchel’s side is noted for this achievement due to its high-level players, strong defense, and disciplined tactics.
Meanwhile, the supercomputer also identified teams with almost no chance of winning the tournament. According to its assessments, Jordan, Curaçao, and Haiti have no realistic opportunities to claim the championship. These teams instead aim to deliver respectable performances during the group stage.
For reference, the World Championship draw was held on December 5, during which groups comprising 48 teams were announced. The group stage will see teams testing their real potential on the field.
Such predictions made ahead of the tournament stir fans’ curiosity even more — which team will “prove the supercomputer wrong” and which will turn forecasts into reality? Answers to these questions will only emerge during the competition.
