How well have Opta AFCON predictions fared? In this blog, we covered predictions generated by the Opta Analyst AI model about the potential AFCON winners, and they have demonstrated a relatively accurate reflection of the tournament's outcome thus far. Notably, teams such as Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Morocco, which were among the top predicted winners, have indeed performed well by advancing to the Round of 16. Senegal, with a predicted probability of 12.80%, has justified its standing as a strong contender. Ivory Coast and Morocco, with predicted percentages of 12.10% and 11.10% respectively, have also lived up to expectations. Additionally, Algeria and Nigeria, both featuring in the top predicted winners, managed to secure spots in the Round of 16. While some variations exist, the overall trend suggests that the AI model's predictions align reasonably well with the actual outcomes observed in the ongoing AFCON tournament.
