Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: The current champion Argentina and European team Switzerland will face off tomorrow morning in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Ahead of this important battle to advance to the semi-finals, sports statistics company Optar Supercomputer has predicted the possible outcome of the match. The supercomputer analyzed the possible outcomes by running 25,000 simulations before the start of the match. The analysis showed that Argentina's chance of winning in the scheduled 90 minutes is 57.7 percent. On the other hand, Switzerland's chance of winning is only 18.0 percent. In addition, there is a possibility of a draw in 24.3 percent of cases. In that case, the game will go to extra time, and if necessary, it can also be settled in a tiebreaker.
Although the statistics are in Argentina's favor, there is always a possibility of an accident in the knockout stage. However, according to the overall calculation, Argentina has a 69.4 percent chance of securing the last four. On the other hand, Switzerland's chance of reaching the semi-finals has been shown to be 30.6 percent. If they make it to the semi-finals, they will face either England or Norway.
Now it remains to be seen how accurate the supercomputer's predictions are in the field, or whether the World Cup knockout stage will once again overturn all the calculations and present a new surprise.
