Opta Supercomputer Favors Spain to Upset Argentina in 2026 Final
Opta’s supercomputer tips Spain with a 59% chance of beating defending champions Argentina in the World Cup 2026 final at New Jersey. Argentina reached the final after dramatic knockout wins, including two late assists from Lionel Messi against England. Spain booked their place by denying France a third straight final with a 2-0 victory in Dallas. Spain haven’t featured in a final since lifting the trophy in 2010. They’ve conceded just one goal so far, compared to Argentina’s more dramatic path through extra time and late comebacks. Will Messi defend his title for a second time or will Spain clinch their first World Cup crown since 2010? The Opta model clearly backs Spain to go all the way.
