Only 16 teams are left in the 2026 World Cup, but who will make it to the final at MetLife Stadium near New York City on 19 July?<\/p>\n
BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton did pretty well with his predictions for the last 32, but Paraguay’s win over Germany caught him out, as well as most of you.<\/p>\n
From more than 60,000 user predictions for that game, only 2% of you went for a Paraguay win.<\/p>\n
You did pretty well otherwise, however – Morocco’s win over the Netherlands was the only other result you got wrong.<\/p>\n
Chris was right with 13\/16 predictions while AI got 12\/16.<\/p>\n
With 88 of this World Cup’s 104 matches now completed, the users still lead the way.<\/p>\n
Chris has been right 54 times (61%), AI has a score of 55 (63%), but you lot are on top with 62 (70%).<\/p>\n
Will there be any more surprises in the last 16, which includes Mexico against England and Paraguay against France?<\/p>\n
AI’s predictions have been generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat. We simply asked the tool to ‘predict the results of the World Cup last-16 ties’.<\/p>\n
The new BBC predictor game<\/a> allows readers to pick a winner from each knockout tie.<\/p>\n
