Methodology — How Match Predicts Builds World Cup 2026 AI Predictions

Our prediction model combines four data layers for every FIFA World Cup 2026 match:

1. Historical tournament performance — appearances, titles, knockout exits, goal differentials.
2. Recent form — last 24 months of results, weighted by recency and opponent strength.
3. Squad quality — minutes in top leagues, Champions League experience, age profile.
4. Contextual factors — home advantage (USA, Mexico, Canada), travel, climate, group dynamics.

Every prediction includes a confidence score between 50% and 99%. We never claim 100% certainty.
