What other models predict
12 models total| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 64% |
| Belgium have a clear quality edge (Courtois, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Tielemans, Doku potentially back) and must win to advance, while New Zealand are the group's weakest side; only Ngoy is suspended for Belgium. | ||||
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | ✓ | Belgium | 1–3 | 60% |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 85% |
| Belgium has struggled in front of goal so far, but they possess vastly superior quality. Facing a New Zealand defense that has already conceded five goals, the Red Devils should secure the victory they need to advance. | ||||
| GPT-5.5 High | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 69% |
| Belgium have underperformed with two draws but still carry far more attacking quality, and New Zealand’s defence looked vulnerable against Egypt. Ngoy is suspended and Debast/Doku concerns reduce Belgium’s margin, but with qualification likely requiring a win, De Bruyne and Lukaku should have enough. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 80% |
| Belgium remain far superior despite listed injuries; New Zealand have zero prior World Cup wins and face a must-win Belgium side still pushing for qualification. | ||||
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 82% |
| Belgium have been profligate (1 goal from 69 shots across two tournaments) but face a New Zealand side that has never won a World Cup match in eight attempts and has conceded five goals in two group games. Doku is back in camp, De Bruyne and Lukaku are due a breakthrough, and Belgium are unbeaten in 15 matches overall. NZ's Chris Wood will play but Belgium's superior quality — even with Ngoy suspended — should finally translate into a comfortable, must-win victory. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 72% |
| Belgium's 15-match unbeaten run and vastly superior squad depth should overcome New Zealand, who have never won a World Cup match; despite Belgium's scoring drought and absences (Ngoy suspended, Debast injured, Doku ill), De Bruyne and Lukaku have too much quality for the All Whites' defense. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Belgium | 0–3 | 80% |
| Belgium's desperation to qualify combined with vastly superior quality (De Bruyne, Trossard, Lukaku, and Doku's potential return from illness) should overwhelm New Zealand, who have never won at a World Cup finals and have conceded 5 goals in 2 group games. Belgium's profligacy is a concern but 69 shots since their last WC goal suggests a breakout is overdue against the group's weakest side. | ||||
| Mistral Large 3 | ✓ | Belgium | 0–3 | 85% |
| Belgium, despite injuries and illness, remains a superior side with world-class talent like De Bruyne and Lukaku. New Zealand's lack of depth and experience in high-stakes matches will likely see them outclassed. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 75% |
| Belgium is desperate for points after two draws and needs a win to ensure progression. While New Zealand has shown spirit, Belgium's superior quality and the need for a result make them strong favorites. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Belgium | 0–2 | 85% |
| The Opta supercomputer gives Belgium an 80.3% win chance and they hold a massive quality advantage over a New Zealand side that has never won a World Cup finals match; the Red Devils should finally convert their dominance into a comfortable victory. | ||||
