Supercomputer Predicts The Winner Of This Year's World Cup With Clear Favourite, It's Not England

Using an algorithm which simulated the entire tournament 1000 times, Les Bleus were ranked as the most likely winners with 17.93 per cent probability. If they retain the World Cup, they'll join Brazil and Italy as the only nations to do so.

Spain are the only other team with probability in double digits, sitting at 11.53 per cent.

Where does this leave Euro 2020 finalists England? The Three Lions are fourth, but behind Spain by a fair distance. Gareth Southgate's chances of ending 56 years of hurt sit at 8.03 per cent.

Belgium make up the top five with 7.90 per cent as their 'Golden Generation' enter their twilight.
