CONMEBOL qualification World Cup 2022 simulations (January 2021)

CONMEBOL started with their World Cup qualifiers. They played 4 MD's in October and November last year.

Here are the probabilities (in %) of the complete qualifying campaign for CONMEBOL teams, including the complete Copa America 2021 (now scheduled for this June) along the road -generated over 10.000 simulations- with all match results based on NT prediction formula's for goals scored in a match depending on elo win expectancy.


You can find previous qualification simulation results here.

First the Copa America. This is the first edition in a new format of 2 groups of 6 teams instead of the awkward format of 3 groups of 4 teams. Now simply the group numbers 1 to 4 qualify for the quarter finals. There are again 2 guests, this time Qatar and Australia as the last two Asian Champions.

  1. the withdrawal of Qatar and Australia means Copa will either need to replace them with 2 new teams or go ahead with only 10 teams and 10 less matches.

    If going ahead with 10 teams I would prefer top 2 rather than top 4 to qualify otherwise the group stage becomes fairly meaningless other than trying to avoid 4th spot to avoid the top team in the other group.
