CAF Nations Cup 2023 qualification simulations (May 2022)

This June window the group stage starts in the qualification for the AFCON 2023 in Cote d'Ivoire in June next year. In March preliminary play-offs were played to wittle the 54 entered African teams down to 48. Now the group stage with 12 groups of 4 teams starts with two matchdays in June, two in September and two in March next year. The 12 group winners and runners-up qualify for the 24-team continental final.


Notes:

- Host Cote d'Ivoire participates in this qualification. In their group H only the highest ranked team, besides the host, qualifies.

- Kenya and Zimbabwe were included in the group stage draw but last week suspended for this tournament after all because their ongoing FIFA suspension -because of unpermitted governmental interference with the national football association- wasn't lifted in time. Thus, groups C and K are reduced to 3 teams, of which the best 2 qualify.


Here are the probabilities (in %) -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.
