Most likely rivals
The Camino to the World Cup in Guatemala will be defined this Thursday 12. A few hours after the draw, Free press He simulated, by artificial intelligence, the possible rivals of the bicolor. After 10,000 simulations, the following results were obtained:
Honduras appears as the most frequent rivalsharing a group with Guatemala in 34.01% of the scenarios.
They are closely followed by Jamaica, Bermudas, Panama and Nicaragua, all with a probability slightly higher than 33%.
Most likely group: Group C
Guatemala appears in Group C in 34.29% of the simulations, along with:
- Honduras (34.01%)
- Jamaica (33.71%)
- Bermuda (33.70%)
This group is statistically the most recurrent among all possible combinations, although the exact probability that this specific formation occurs is approximately 1.5%, due to the large number of combinations possible. However, it is The most repeated combination between 10,000 simulations and, therefore, The most likely.
