Match winner predictions
A match-winner prediction backs one team to win in 90 minutes — the '1' or '2' in 1X2. At a neutral venue, like most of the World Cup, there is no home advantage, so Pundit Kings rates each side purely on team strength, form and the market — and only calls a winner when the probability clearly beats the draw. The host nations (USA, Mexico and Canada) get a measured home edge when they play at home.
Ranked by win probability below, each labelled by the team we're backing. We settle on the 90-minute result only.
