It predicts likely winners based on the round of 32 performance (plus prior data). That's still "prospective" with respect to the finals

- derdi 3mo agoYes. I don't like phrasing this as being prospective for the World Cup as a whole. It's for the knockout stage. (Which the abstract says! But the title doesn't.)
