Belgium eliminated in 1/2, France from 1/8 and Brazil the big winner: the new predictions for the rest of the World Cup
True football lovers will say that this makes no sense, that statistics and probabilities are far from the spirit of the game, that they do not take into account the real beautiful surprises of football. And they are probably right. But they are sometimes an indication of trends and are not always wrong. New predictions on the continuation of the World Cup established by Gracenote at the end of the “first round” of the group stage have been released. And they are rather optimistic for the Red Devils.
Belgium’s course would be qualification for the round of 16 when we take on Japan, before beating Portugal in the quarter-finals and being knocked out by Argentina in the semi-finals. The Argentinians who would lose in the final against the big favorite Brazilian.
They fear a little harsh towards our French neighbors since they lead to an elimination from the eighth against Argentina. While the Blues showed great things for their first meeting against Australia and the Albiceleste lost against Saudi Arabia… A little weird then!
In terms of percentages, Brazil would have a 59% chance of winning the World Cup final against Argentina.
The qualified for the eighth according to the predictions: The Netherlands, the USA, Saudi Arabia, Denmark, Spain, Croatia, Brazil, Uruguay, England, Ecuador, France, Argentina, Belgium, Japan, Portugal and Switzerland.
