FIFA World Cup 2022 Tips
Stats Insider's 2022 World Cup predictions are here, with the entire tournament simulated over 10,000 times in order to find the most likely outcomes and the best betting value.
When modelling the FIFA World Cup, our team of analysts gathered data from 10+ years of international football matches, taking into account a number of factors including how a team has performed in the past, who their opponent is for the upcoming match, the players likely to be taking part in the match for both sides and whether or not the team has any home ground advantage in the upcoming fixture.
Using real tournament fixtures from the Qatar World Cup and a nation's possible path through the finals, Stats Insider's model starts by assigning a rating to every team in every match.
Based on these ratings, we calculate a probability for each team winning, losing or drawing a particular match (in the Group Stage) and winning or losing a particular match (in the Knockout Phase).
Using these probabilities, we then simulate the result of every match of the tournament 10,000 times.
Our World Cup simulator features projections for Brazil, Australia, France and every other team appearing in the 2022 World Cup, our downloadable guide is the ultimate resource for those following the 2022 version of the world's greatest sporting event.
