The four-time African champions, Black Stars of Ghana have a slim chance of becoming the first nation from the continent to win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, according to Opta Analyst.
Statistics from Opta Analyst, arguably the largest data-focused sports company in the world, show that the Black Stars have less than a one per cent chance of winning the 2022 World Cup. In a post on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, Ghana’s chances of winning the World Cup have been rated 0.02% by Opta Analyst.
The West African country has been drawn into Group H alongside Ronaldo’s Portugal, Asian powerhouse South Korea and two-time World champions, Uruguay in what promises to be a tough but not improbable group to qualify from.
The Black Stars will open their campaign at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a blockbuster clash against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.
The prediction model is based on simulating the outcome of the tournament thousands of times. The top-ranked nations among the 32 qualified countries include France (17.93%), Brazil (15.73%) and Spain (11.53%). Among the five nations from Africa to have qualified for the World Cup, Senegal ranks highest with a percentage of 0.19%, with Ghana (0.02%), Tunisia (0.01%), Morocco (0.01%) and Cameroon (0.00%), respectively.
