The dazzling progress of artificial intelligence is raising more and more questions about its predictive capabilities. What if this technology could anticipate the winner of Euro 2024? A question that seduces as much as it intrigues, promising a revolution in the field of sport.
Winner Prediction: Reality or Illusion?
A artificial intelligence recently analyzed several million possible scenarios to determine the favorite teams in theEuro 2024, scheduled from June 14 to July 14. However, according to this AI, France would not be the next champion.
OCBScores, the site behind this simulation, injected various parameters such as the performance and potential of each national team as well as the final tournament table to assess each team’s chances of winning the European Championship in Germany.
Predictive Analytics Results
For AI, three teams emerge as favorites. France, eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland in 2021, would be a finalist for Euro 2024, as in 2016 when it lost to Portugal in the final (1-0 ap). However, this time, the calculations show that the Blues would be beaten by England.
Here is the ranking of the chances of victory according to the AI:
- England: 34.4%
- France: 28%
- Germany (host country)
Key Factor Analysis
The analysis is based on several parameters, including the recent performance of the teams, their individual and collective potential, as well as the structure of the tournament. For example, Portugal and Italy, reigning European champions, respectively have a 10.2% chance of triumphing, more than Spain, eliminated in the quarter-finals according to the simulation.
The Blues’ Journey
Before reaching the final phase, the teammates of Kylian Mbappé will have group matches to play:

The French team will seek to obtain a third coronation after those of 1984 and 2000. It remains with a defeat in the final of the 2022 World Cup against Argentina.
Reliability of AI-Based Predictions
It is crucial to ask how reliable these predictions are. Although AI has the capacity to process a huge volume of data and scenarios, football remains an unpredictable sport where human factors, such as the physical and mental fitness of players, can radically influence the outcome.
Furthermore, the machine learning models used for these predictions are conditioned by the available data. Any gaps or biases in the initial data could distort the final results.
Help but Not a Guarantee
In conclusion, although the use of a artificial intelligence may offer interesting insights and guide expectations, it cannot guarantee the final result. Sport retains its share of uncertainty and emotion, resistant to predetermined algorithmic predictions.
