Over 4,000 entries were submitted as predictions during the initial stages of the 2026 World Cup, specifically concerning the first two matches played. Data collected by the Telegrafi platform, through its “The Expert” segment, indicates a low rate of overall accuracy among the submissions. Statistically, only 17% of the total predictions were entirely correct, while a significantly higher percentage, estimated at 70%, were inaccurate.
The platform generated substantial interest following the opening fixtures. A comparison of the outcomes revealed that the first match, featuring Mexico against South Africa, garnered a higher level of predictive accuracy compared to the second contest between South Korea and the Czech Republic. The contest incentivizes participation by offering major prizes, including an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a Segway electric scooter, and a PlayStation 5, encouraging continued engagement for subsequent World Cup fixtures.
Regarding the initial two matches, a cumulative total of 109 participants successfully submitted correct predictions. These statistics highlight the high level of public interest and engagement surrounding the tournament’s results immediately following the opening games. The platform continues to track these predictions as the World Cup progresses.
