🧠 Elimination Probability Analysis
Based on data model simulations (10,000 runs), the elimination probabilities for each team are as follows:
1. Costa Rica – Elimination Probability: 67%
Reason: Significant goal difference disadvantage (-3), facing Germany in the final round is a tough task. Even a win would require favorable results elsewhere.
2. Japan – Elimination Probability: 52%
Reason: Final round against Spain makes it difficult to earn points. If Japan loses and Germany wins, Japan is eliminated.
3. Germany – Elimination Probability: 41%
Reason: Facing the weakest opponent (Costa Rica) in the final round gives Germany a high win probability, but they still need Spain to avoid losing to Japan to guarantee advancement.
4. Spain – Elimination Probability: 18%
Reason: Leading in goal difference and stronger on paper. Unless Spain loses to Japan and Germany wins big, Spain should advance comfortably.
🎯 Key Factors in the Final Round
- If Spain beats Japan, Spain advances. The other spot depends on Germany vs Costa Rica.
- If Spain draws with Japan, Spain advances (on goal difference). Japan's fate depends on the other result.
- If Spain loses to Japan, Japan advances. Spain's fate depends on whether Germany wins.
