How our model — and yours — should think
Five inputs separate good predictions from coin flips. Use them when filling in your bracket:
- Recent form — last 6–8 competitive matches matter more than friendlies.
- Expected goals (xG) — over-performing teams regress; under-performers improve.
- Head-to-head — tactical match-ups repeat (e.g. Argentina vs Netherlands).
- Home advantage — USA, Canada and Mexico get a meaningful boost.
- Squad depth — 48-team format with shorter recovery favors deep squads (Spain, France, Brazil).
