World Cup 2026: Could…

After holding Spain to a draw and then doing the same against Uruguay, Cape Verde continue to defy expectations at this World Cup.

This time, though, fewer of you were caught out.

In the BBC’s new predictor game, 99.65% of users expected Cape Verde to lose to Spain, but “only” 83% predicted defeat against Uruguay.

Users have called plenty right overall too, and they’re currently outperforming BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton and the AI.

Chris correctly predicted 14 results in the second set of 24 group matches, up from 12 in the first round.

The AI also improved, rising from 13 to 15 out of 24, but users made the biggest leap, jumping from 13 to 18 out of 24.

How will everyone do in the final round of group fixtures, including Scotland vs Brazil and England vs Panama?

Chris is predicting all 104 World Cup matches and has also forecast the finishing order of all 12 groups.

The AI’s picks were generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat by asking it to predict the second round of group games.

You can try the new BBC predictor game yourself, choosing a winner or a draw for every match. Play the World Cup predictor now.
