Statistics experts have their say before the World Cup draw, the study also affects Albania (Photo)

The draw for the 2026 World Cup groups will be held today at 18:00. Albania is in pot four, while it is in the play-off group with Ukraine, Sweden and Poland. The winner of this foursome will have a ticket to the World Cup.

"Football Meets Data", which deals with the study of statistics, has shown the chances for each representative to win the most important competition. A study that comes before the draw is made, as the chances change again afterwards.

The World Cup winner is not expected to emerge from the play-off teams. All groups are given less than a 1% chance. What stands out from Europe is that Albania's group is ranked lower. So it can also be said that the play-off path for Albania is the easiest possible.

In terms of winning the World Cup, Spain is 22% ahead of the rest. So expectations are high for the European champions, who will repeat 2010.
