Supercomputer predicts winner of England vs Mexico clash

The Opta supercomputer has calculated the teams' chances ahead of the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 match between Mexico and England.

According to the calculations, England is closer to winning in regular time. However, Mexico's chances are also rated quite highly, meaning fans can expect a tense and uncompromising game.

England has the higher probability

According to Opta's analysis, the probability of the England national team winning within 90 minutes is 40.6 percent.

Mexico's chance of victory in regular time is estimated at 31.5 percent.

Thus, although the supercomputer identifies the English as favorites, there is no significant gap between the teams.

High probability of extra time

The probability of the match ending in a draw in regular time is 27.9 percent.

This suggests that the match could potentially go to extra time or even a penalty shootout.

In short, there is no scenario for an 'easy game' here.

Mexico recorded maximum results in the group

The Mexico national team won all three matches in the group stage, finishing first in Group A with 9 points.

The team reached the Round of 16 after defeating Ecuador 2-0 in the Round of 32.

England also continues its confident run

The England national team topped Group L with 7 points.

The English had a tough match against DR Congo in the Round of 32, winning 2-1.

Quarter-final spot at stake

The Mexico vs England match will take place on the night of July 6.

The winner will advance to the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals. Opta favors England, but Mexico's 100% record in the group stage suggests a high chance of an upset.
