Our World Cup 2026 AI predictions model has identified several matches where the market's implied probabilities diverge dramatically from our Monte Carlo simulations. The clearest edge appears in Curaçao vs Ivory Coast, where the market prices a home win at just 5.9% — yet our model assigns 26% probability to that outcome, representing a +347.7% probability gap. Here's what the data reveals across five matches with statistically interesting mismatches.
