Belgium going out? Sutton’s World Cup 2026 score predictions

After following up their draw with Spain by holding Uruguay, Cape Verde keep on surprising people at this World Cup.

But some of you were not caught out this time.

While 99.65% of the users playing the BBC’s new predictor game backed them to lose against Spain, ‘only’ 83% thought they would be beaten by Uruguay too.

The users have got some predictions right, however, and overall they are doing better than BBC Sport predictions expert Chris Sutton and AI.

Chris got 14 results correct in the second round of 24 group games, compared to 12 from the first set of fixtures.

AI also did better this time, up from 13 to 15/24, but the users made an even bigger improvement, with a score of 18/24 compared to 13 last time.

How will everyone fare in the final set of matches, including Scotland versus Brazil and England against Panama?

Chris is predicting the outcome of all 104 games at the World Cup, and he has also picked the order he thinks each of the 12 groups will finish in.

AI’s predictions have been generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat. We simply asked the tool to ‘predict the results of the second round of World Cup group games’.

The new BBC predictor game allows readers to pick a winner from every match, or go for a draw.
