Methodology

How the model works

01

Rate every team

An Elo rating for all 295 international sides, tuned across a decade of results, then adjusted for the players each squad actually brings to 2026.

02

Model every match

Each fixture becomes a goals distribution — home advantage, host effects and altitude included — giving a probability for every scoreline, not just a winner.

03

Simulate the tournament

Fifty thousand simulations play out the groups and the bracket, so every team gets an honest chance of reaching each round. Re-run after every matchday.

Get the model's daily read

Every prediction for the day's fixtures, plus the running accuracy — in your inbox each morning of the tournament.
