2026 World Cup Qualifying Asia Fourth/Fifth Round - 10000 Simulations

So following the draw made yesterday, here's a simulation for how the fourth and fifth round is expected to pan out following a 10000 iteration simulation.

Fourth Round

These numbers show the qualifying chances (first place) via this round, and the chances of qualifying for the fifth round (second place), and of not qualifying for at least the Intercontinental qualifiers (third place).

Group A

                        First   Second    Third
Qatar                  48.11%   30.80%   21.09%
United Arab Emirates   28.51%   35.84%   35.65%
Oman                   23.38%   33.36%   43.26%

Group B

                        First   Second    Third
Saudi Arabia           46.41%   36.78%   16.81%
Iraq                   41.43%   38.31%   20.26%
Indonesia              12.16%   24.91%   62.93%

Fifth Round

These numbers show the times that countries qualified for the Intercontinental qualifiers if the country didn't qualify automatically in the simulation, and the percentage that it would win/lose the playoff to qualify.

                       Winner  Loser     Win %   Loss %
Qatar                  18.17%  12.63%   58.99%   41.01%
Saudi Arabia           19.25%  17.53%   52.34%   47.66%

Oman                   15.91%  17.45%   47.69%   52.31%
Indonesia               7.75%  17.16%   31.11%   68.89%

At Least Intercontinental Qualifiers

This shows the percentage chance in the simulation of the country reaching at least the Intercontinental qualifiers.

                       ICQ %
