CONCACAF Nations League 2020 Q simulations (20 October)

Here are the probabilities (in %) of the qualfying phase of the CONCACAF Nations League 2020 -generated over 10.000 simulations- after the second match day.
Simulation results after the first match day can be found here.


The 6 teams that played the Hexagonal to qualify for the World Cup 2018 -Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, USA, Honduras and Trinidad and Tobago- are automatically placed in league A and are also qualified for the Gold Cup 2019.


The top 6 of the resulting qualifying ranking also qualify for league A. The next 16 teams (7-22) qualify for league B and the last 12 teams (23-34) qualify for league C. Guatemala does not play these qualifiers because they were suspended by FIFA at the time of the draw.


And last but not least: the top 10 of this ranking also qualifies for the Gold Cup 2019, which will be expanded to 16 teams.


The teams below are sorted by their average ranking position. Presented are the probabilities to qualify for the three leagues A, B and C and also for the Gold Cup 2019.

    The upcoming Match Day #3 will have a lot more even clashes on paper so the next week should see a much clearer picture.

  2. Hey Ed,
    When you do the team by team % probability update prior to March 19 MD4 would you be able to update the position and points charts provided prior to the competition starting

    http://www.football-rankings.info/2018/07/concacaf-nations-league-2020-q.html

    First the average points per qualification-position:
    position - avg.pts
    1 - 11,74
    2 - 11,11
    3 - 10,38
    4 - 9,84
    5 - 9,42
    6 - 9,08

    7 - 8,80
    8 - 8,49
    9 - 8,06
    10 - 7,62

    11 - 7,26
    12 - 7,02
    13 - 6,82
    14 - 6,57
    15 - 6,29
    16 - 6,05
    17 - 5,84
    18 - 5,59
    19 - 5,26
    20 - 4,85
    21 - 4,45
    22 - 4,16

    23 - 3,96
    24 - 3,75
    25 - 3,48
    26 - 3,22
    27 - 2,99
    28 - 2,73
    29 - 2,32
    30 - 1,76
    31 - 1,21
    32 - 0,77
    33 - 0,37
    34 - 0,08

    Then the probabilities for the resulting W/D/L-combinations to qualify for the three leagues A, B and C and for the Gold Cup.
    4 wins - 99,99% - 0,01% - 0,00% - 100,00%
    3 wins, 1 draw - 98,12% - 1,88% - 0,00% - 100,00%

    3 wins, 1 loss - 45,87% - 54,13% - 0,00% - 97,54%
    2 wins, 1 draw - 0,13% - 99,87% - 0,00% - 22,42%

    2 wins, 2 losses - 0,00% - 99,92% - 0,08% - 0,05%
    1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss - 0,00% - 97,18% - 2,82% - 0,00%
    1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses - 0,00% - 44,82% - 55,18% - 0,00%

    1 win, 3 losses - 0,00% - 0,69% - 99,31% - 0,00%
    2 draws, 2 losses - 0,00% - 0,00% - 100,00% - 0,00%
    1 draw, 3 losses - 0,00% - 0,00% - 100,00% - 0,00%
    4 losses - 0,00% - 0,00% - 100,00% - 0,00%
