2026 World Cup Qualifying CONMEBOL 10000 Simulations

Probably the most interesting simulation for the qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is the CONMEBOL situation at the moment. So given that 60 of the 30 matches have been played so far, who is likely to qualify outright in one of the top 6 positions and which country is most likely to end up playing in the Intercontinental qualifying? Well, let's answer that straight away. With 10000 simulations, these are the predicted qualifiers if we trust the simulation based on current ranking points. A little word of warning though, this could still differ if any countries play any matches in between, but it is not likely to have any significant effect though... And before you ask, yes, this takes into account matches already played as well as Ecuador's 3 point deduction.
