Algeria World Cup 2026 chances

Onside re-runs a 10,000-simulation Monte Carlo on every result so the chance number you see here is the most current model snapshot, not a pre-tournament freeze.

Algeria's route to the final

Group stage first, then a six-game knockout to lift the trophy. Onside's knockout simulator shows the most likely opponent at each round; the bracket below traces the full Monte Carlo path for Algeria.
