Direct picks on the real fixture, scored like a group match (exact 3 · goal difference 2 · outcome 1) plus +1 for the correct advancing team — a separate benchmark from the locked self-consistent bracket. See the methodology.

Who called this matchup?

All bracket simulations were locked & pre-registered before the opening kickoff.

Models whose own simulated Quarter-finals contained this exact pairing (in either orientation), with the scoreline they attached to it — 0 of 40 models with a stored simulation for this round.

No model's simulated bracket paired these teams in the Quarter-finals. Models can still earn advancement points here for having either team reach this stage — see the methodology.

Scorelines are shown in this match's orientation (flipped when a model simulated the pairing the other way around). Each listed model also earns a +1 matchup bonus; scoreline points (3/2/1, +1 correct advancer) apply once the match is played.
