Predictions for the Netherlands-Argentina match World Cup 2022 The Al-Jazeera artificial intelligence robot has analyzed the numbers and has some predictions for today's game.
Al Kashif, the island's resident AI predictor, is highly reliable after an impressive 87.5% accuracy level during the Round of 16.
This comes after the detector's data-dependent logic hampered its performance in group phases with vertical fluctuations, resulting in dramatic perturbations. So he is hoping for another good run in the quarter-finals.
Cave studied more than 200 metrics, including wins, goals scored, FIFA rankings, and more, from matches, played over the past century, and he could hardly separate the two teams. So it could be identical.
The scout is marginally backing Lionel Messi's Argentina - ranked third in the world - against a hardworking Netherlands national team.
Argentina suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Saudi Arabia in the group stage - a result Al Kashef failed to anticipate - but has since beaten Poland, Mexico, and Australia.
The Netherlands has yet to lose a World Cup final. They played a pragmatic style of football under Louis van Gaal. There is no doubt that they will thwart a talented Argentina side hoping to score a goal (or two) from the in-form Cody Gacpo.
The Dutch have an advantage over Argentina in terms of their head-to-head record. This match is the third most frequent in the World Cup, so the detector had a lot of data to analyze. They last met at the 2014 World Cup, where Argentina won on penalties.
After 56 World Cup matches, the detector has an accuracy of 68 percent. After each match, the detector re-renders the model to predict the outcome of the next match until the end.
Predicting the outcome of matches is a challenging task - external factors such as team morale or player fitness make a huge difference in how the game plays out.
