WC 2026 Predictor

Knockout predictions

The real knockout draw, predicted match-by-match. Each row blends the model (Elo + form, neutral venue) 50/50 with live bookmaker consensus. Knockouts can't end level, so the advance bar splits the 90-minute draw probability between the two sides in proportion to each one's win edge — the best cheap proxy for who survives extra time / penalties. Expected goals (xG) are the model's regulation-time estimate.
