FRENCH TEAM. The draw for the group stage of the 2022 World Cup takes place today at 6 p.m. Julien Guyon, mathematician at New York University and Columbia University, calculated the probabilities of the draw and drew up the table of the most possible opponents of the France team in the group stage.
[Mis à jour le 1 avril 2022 à 12h32] D-DAY for the Blues. Reigning world champions, the France team will know today from 6:00 p.m. French time, their opponents in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. The Blues will be fixed on the first meetings they will play during the World Cup Qatar, which will take place from November 21 to December 18. Mathematician at New York University and Columbia University, Julien Guyon made simulations published by the journal The Team in order to know which are the adversaries that the French have the best chance of facing during the group stages of the World Cup.
Seeded thanks to its third place in the FIFA rankings, the France team has a 17.5% chance of falling on Uruguay, against 11.8% for the other 7 countries in pot 2. “It’s clearly superior for Uruguay, but on the other hand, there is therefore an 82.5% chance of not drawing this team”. In pot 3, Didier Deschamps’ players have 46.5% to fall on an Asian nation: 17.5% respectively for Iran, Japan and South Korea. Regarding the fourth and last hat, in 20% of the simulations, the winner of the intercontinental play-off between Australia or the United Arab Emirates and Peru falls into the group of Blues.
To perform these simulations, Julien Guyon simulated 100,000 prints: “I simulated the draw 100,000 times according to the official procedure, which imposes certain geographical constraints. With the exception of the European zone, two countries from the same continent cannot be in the same group. Of the 100,000 draws, the Japan fell into France’s group 15,500 times (15.5%).It is possible to calculate the exact odds of the clashes between teams in pots 1 and 2. But it is difficult to do so for all the pots. “
For Julien Guyon, the hens of the 2022 World Cup should be more balanced: “Now the pots are made by level and the groups will be more balanced. Today, it’s hard to imagine a group of death.”
The best draw for the France team: France / United States / Iran / Ecuador or New Zealand (if qualified)
The worst draw for the France team: France / Germany / Senegal / Wales – Ukraine – Scotland or Canada
Note that this opinion concerns the writing of L’Internaute and that of course, everyone can have a different one. Regarding the worst draw, we selected Germany and not the Netherlands given Germany’s recent performance and recent World Cup history. The Germans have passed a milestone since the arrival of new coach Hansi Flick and the Mannschaft are a serious contender for the final victory in Qatar. Winner of the last African Cup of Nations, Senegal is one of the most formidable nations in hat 3, like the play-off in the Europe zone (Wales – Ukraine or Scotland: the date of the postponement of the dam between the Ukraine and Scotland is not yet known) .
For the “best draw”, the United States is for us, the least dangerous nation of pot n°2 among Uruguay, Croatia or Mexico. For the third pot, Iran appears as the most affordable nation compared to Poland, Serbia or Canada. Last qualified nation in South America, Ecuador is one of the nations where France should normally win in the World Cup.
