Euro 2024 round of 16: Germany against Denmark: not all AI models see Nagelsmann as favorite
We asked several artificial intelligences to predict the winner of the Euro 2024 round of 16 between Germany and Denmark. Although the DFB is often considered the favorite, AI models disagree on who will win the match. There is only agreement on one point.
The preliminary round has been successfully completed! Two victories for the DFB and a draw against Switzerland put Germany first in the group and Denmark as their opponent in the round of 16. Now the German fans are looking forward to the duel against the Danes. Everyone wants to know: How will it turn out? Who will advance to the quarterfinals?
We consulted several AI models to make forecasts and get a likely outcome before Saturday, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Groq, and Microsoft CoPilot. These digital oracles use performance statistics and results from previous tournaments to make their predictions. While some models took into account a broader database that included preparatory matches and previous tournaments, others focused mainly on performances from the current European Championship.
AI forecasts are within reach, ChatGPT sees good opportunities for Denmark
ChatGPT stands out with special foresight. The model drew not only the current Euro Cup, but also the one that Test match on June 2, 2021, which ended tied 1-1, in their analysis. “It will be a close match, but the chances are good for Denmark,” ChatGPT said. Historically, Denmark has often had the advantage in recent meetings with Germany.

But Denmark only qualified for the round of 16 thanks to their fair play rating. This is one of the reasons why other AI models, such as Perplexity, Groq and Microsoft CoPilot, predict a victory for the German team. “They played well in the group stage and have the advantage of playing at home,” MirosoftCoPilot clearly states.
There is agreement on the issue of tension
Despite the different opinions on the possible winner, all models agree that fans can expect an exciting match. The calculated result of 2:1 promises excitement and shows that both teams are very close to each other. All AI models see it this way.
Of course, the forecasts should not be overestimated. The world of sports remains unpredictable and therefore fascinating, even in the age of artificial intelligence. Who will finally walk off the field as the winner? Here we like to quote the “emperor” Franz Beckenbauer: “Let's take a look.”
