Pre-tournament · Full transparency
Road to the World Cup
The warm-ups and run-in for all 48 teams — and, on every game, what our model predicted before kickoff (computed from ratings as they stood before the match — no hindsight). We show the misses too: this is the model's honest track record walking into the tournament, not a highlight reel.
49/70 pre-match calls correct
70% hit rate on the run-in
47 World Cup teams in action
These are all warm-up friendlies — rotated XIs, experiments, little at stake — so even a sharp model is often wrong, and the market itself moves little on them. That's exactly why the model counts them at half weight. Read the hit rate as honesty, not a promise. How ratings work →
