But can statistics really predict who wins the biggest football tournament in the world? Rovanos Tsafack N., a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente, has some thoughts on that, and the answer might surprise you. This is the first instalment of our World Cup Questions series, in which UT researchers show how science helps us better understand the world's biggest football tournament, from performance on the pitch to fan behaviour in the stands.
