Knockout scenario

This is a knockout tie: a draw after 90 minutes goes to 30 minutes of extra time, and if still level, a penalty shootout.

About 25% chance the match is level after 90 minutes and goes to extra time.

If it goes to extra time (30 min):

Based on the squad's recent penalty conversion; a shootout still comes down largely to chance.

Pre-match Outlook

Goalence's Pi-Ratings model gives France a clear edge against Paraguay in World Cup — 63% confidence (SOLID tier) with an expected scoreline of 0-1.

The model favors a one-sided sheet — BTTS no at 67% — pointing toward at least one team being kept off the board.

How the Model Works

We use an iterative Pi-Ratings model: each team has separate home and away attack/defense ratings, updated after every match. Lambda values are converted to outcome probabilities via Poisson distribution. Match result, over/under, and BTTS predictions are all derived from a single coherent model.

Paraguay vs FranceFrance Away Win: 63%.
