| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 88% |
| Spain are tournament favorites with a deep, high-quality squad (Pedri, Rodri, Oyarzabal, Ferran Torres) and can even rest Yamal/Williams on the bench against World Cup debutants Cape Verde. La Roja's depth and class should comfortably overpower the Blue Sharks. | ||||
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 88% |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Spain | 2–0 | 85% |
| Spain are heavy favorites despite star wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams being limited by hamstring injuries. Cape Verde lacks the overall squad depth to capitalize on Spain's rotated attack. | ||||
| GPT-5.5 High | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 86% |
| Spain are among the tournament favourites and still have a strong XI even with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams managed from the bench. Cape Verde arrive in good form and with no reported absences, but this is their World Cup debut against a much deeper, higher-tempo Spain side. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 85% |
| Spain vastly superior in quality and recent form; Cape Verde lack the depth to compete at this level. | ||||
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | ✓ | Spain | 4–0 | 95% |
| Spain are reigning European champions on a 10-match unbeaten run and, even with Yamal and Williams only available off the bench, their depth (Rodri, Pedri, Oyarzabal) vastly outclasses World Cup debutants Cape Verde. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 92% |
| Spain are reigning European champions with overwhelming squad depth; even without Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams starting due to hamstring concerns, their midfield trio of Rodri, Pedri, and Fabián Ruiz should dominate World Cup debutants Cape Verde, who lack the quality to trouble a side of this calibre. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 92% |
| Spain are one of the tournament favorites with immense squad depth; even with Yamal and Nico Williams starting on the bench (recently recovered from hamstring injuries), they still field Rodri, Pedri, and Fabián Ruiz against a Cape Verde side making their World Cup debut. | ||||
| Mistral Large 3 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 90% |
| Spain, despite injury concerns to key attackers like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, remains a clear favorite with superior squad depth and talent. Cape Verde, while competitive, lacks the firepower to challenge Spain in a Group H opener, especially with Spain likely to rotate and still field a strong lineup. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 90% |
| Spain is a heavy favorite against Cape Verde. While Lamine Yamal is starting on the bench to manage his return from injury, Spain's depth and technical superiority should easily secure a clean-sheet victory. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Spain | 3–0 | 85% |
| Spain are tournament favorites with elite squad depth; even without starting Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams (both recently recovered from hamstring injuries and limited to substitute roles), La Roja possess far too much quality across the pitch for World Cup debutants Cape Verde. | ||||
