What other models predict
11 models total| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Spain | 1–2 | 55% |
| Spain arrive in flawless form (three straight wins, tight defense) and control matches through midfield with Yamal and Oyarzabal in form, while Portugal needed a late Ronaldo penalty and stoppage-time winner to edge past Croatia; La Roja are marginal favorites to advance. | ||||
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Spain | 0–2 | 75% |
| Spain enters this match as the clear favorite, having kept four consecutive clean sheets in the tournament. Despite missing Nico Williams, their defensive solidity and Mikel Oyarzabal's form should be enough to overcome Portugal in 90 minutes. | ||||
| GPT-5.5 High | ✓ | Spain | 1–2 | 60% |
| Spain have been the more convincing side, winning three straight knockout/group matches without conceding and carrying major attacking form through Oyarzabal and Yamal. Portugal have a full squad but have looked less fluent, relying heavily on Diogo Costa and late moments against Croatia. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✗ | Draw | 2–2 | 55% |
| Evenly matched sides with Spain's depth and recent form giving slight edge in extra time despite Ronaldo's threat. | ||||
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | ✓ | Spain | 0–1 | 78% |
| Spain have yet to concede a single goal across 4 World Cup matches (519+ minutes), with Rodri anchoring a record-breaking defence. Portugal's attack has laboured against organised sides — scraping past Croatia on a VAR call — and Spain's midfield control should suffocate Ronaldo and company in a tight Iberian derby. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Spain | 1–2 | 62% |
| Spain's extraordinary defensive record (0 goals conceded in 4 matches, 9 clean sheets in last 10 competitive games) and superior tournament form give them the edge. Portugal have scraped through without convincing, while Spain's midfield control and Oyarzabal's clinical finishing should prevail despite the absence of Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Spain | 0–2 | 72% |
| Spain have not conceded a goal in four matches this tournament and are the most complete team in the competition. Portugal barely survived Croatia with late VAR drama and have won just 1 of 12 competitive meetings with Spain. Spain's midfield control with Rodri, combined with Yamal and Oyarzabal's form, should break through while their defense holds firm. | ||||
| Mistral Large 3 | ✗ | Draw | 1–1 | 75% |
| Spain are missing key wingers Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino, which weakens their attacking width, but their midfield control and depth should keep them competitive. Portugal, despite their attacking talent, have struggled to break down organized defenses in recent tournaments and may lack the cutting edge without Ronaldo starting consistently. Expect a tightly contested match heading to extra time, with Spain's experience in knockout tournaments giving them the edge. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Spain | 1–2 | 65% |
| Spain enters this match in perfect form with three consecutive wins and a strong defensive record. While Portugal is dangerous, Spain's tactical cohesion and the form of Oyarzabal give them the edge, especially with Portugal's uncertainty over Ronaldo's starting role. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Spain | 1–2 | 72% |
| Spain are in excellent form with Oyarzabal and Yamal leading a cohesive attack, while Portugal relies heavily on 41-year-old Ronaldo who has been in middling form; Spain's tactical superiority and momentum from a 3-0 R32 win should see them through. | ||||
