Predicting FIFA 2022 World Cup with Machine Learning

With the approach of FIFA 2022 World Cup, the interest and discussions about which team is going to win the championship increase. Thus, I decided to test my Data Science and Machine Learning skills to develop a model analyzing historical data to simulate all games from FIFA 2022 World Cup. In order to build a Machine Learning model, we need the data from the teams. First, we need something that tells the performance of the teams, which can be extracted from previous games. Also, I decided to use the FIFA Rankings in the construction of the features.
