Two of the world’s most passionate footballing nations, Spain and Brazil, are favourites to go head to head in the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Final according to the Castrol Predictor. While Spain seem to be most bookmakers’ favourite, the Castrol Predictor shows that they actually have only a 16.1% chance of glory and are second favourites behind the five time winners Brazil, with a 23.6% chance of success.

Castrol’s analysis shows that the best placed teams to qualify from Group G, the so called ‘Group of Death’, are Castrol Predictor tournament and group favourites Brazil (91.7%) and Portugal (52.4%). Carlos Queiroz’s men cannot afford to be complacent as they are almost inseparable from their group rivals and African favourites Ivory Coast, who have a 50.5% chance of reaching the last 16.
The Castrol Predictor measures past team and player performance and works out the attack and defence ratings of each nation. Then, by simulating the tournament more than 100,000 times and taking into account the draw groupings, Castrol has calculated each team’s chances of progression through the FIFA World Cup™ group stages and ultimately, of winning the world’s most famous trophy.
Castrol has applied the same expertise they apply to the development of their oils to create the Castrol Predictor, using objective analysis and highly advanced technology to offer unique insights into winning performances.
Castrol Ambassador Marcel Desailly says: “I am surprised that the Castrol Predictor shows Brazil as favourites because I really thought Spain were the team to beat this time. I will be hoping that my home nation Ghana does better than predicted as the Castrol Predictor only gives them a 0.2% chance of success! It’s great being able to look at the teams’ predicted success in this way and I’m sure it will be a talking point for football fans everywhere."
