Statistical analysis company Optar Supercomputer has released its predictions for this high-voltage match. They ran 25,000 simulations before the match started, and found that Argentina has the highest chance of winning.
According to Optar's calculations, Argentina has a 69.1 percent chance of winning. On the other hand, Egypt has a 12.3 percent chance of winning. And the chance of the match ending in a draw and going into extra time is 18.5 percent.
However, even if the statistics are in Argentina's favor, the fight on the field may be different. Because both teams played an extra 30 minutes in the previous round. As a result, both teams have to enter this match with relatively little rest. Players' fatigue, fitness, and possible injuries can play an important role in determining the outcome of the match.
Now it remains to be seen whether Argentina will win, proving the supercomputer's prediction to be correct, or whether Egypt will overturn all the calculations and make history.
