Full prediction ยท calibrated model (T=1.845)

World Cup 2026 โ€” Win / Draw / Lose
predictions, first match to the final

Exact probabilities for all 72 group matches, the model's projected 32 qualifiers, an illustrative bracket to the final, and stage-by-stage expectations. Built from the engine's Dixon-Coles model + 20,000 simulations.

How to read this honestly. The 72 group matches are real, scheduled fixtures, so their W/D/L percentages are exact model output. Everything after the group stage is a projection: real knockout pairings depend on who finishes where, so the qualifiers below are the model's most-likely picks and the bracket is an illustrative, strength-seeded path โ€” not official fixtures. Percentages are calibrated win/draw/loss for regulation (90 min). "Pick" is simply the single most-likely outcome; a pick is never a certainty.
Left team win Draw Right team win xPts = expected group points

Group stage โ€” all 72 matches

Each group shows the predicted final table (by expected points, with qualification odds from the simulation) followed by every match with its win/draw/loss split, the most-likely result, and the most-likely scoreline.
