Kashef has not had the best few days in the office. Unfortunately for our artificial intelligence (AI) predictor, the adrenaline-fuelled, high-octane football being played in the opening set of fixtures has resulted in several major upsets. The good news for us sentient beings is that every time Kashef has got it wrong, we have been treated to a veritable feast of World Cup magic. Just take Saudi Arabia's historic victory over Argentina as a case in point. Today, Kashef has processed the historical data and performances of all the teams who are in action to predict the results of each game.

Some humans would say a football match is impossible to predict with any great certainty, but Kashef, our Artificial Intelligence (AI) predictor, would disagree. Kashef has been playing with historical data and performance to predict the results of each game all the way to the final. No surprise that Kashef is backing Lionel Messi and his team to beat the Green Falcons in today's first fixture. Kashef is siding with the Danish Dynamite on this one. However, Tunisia still stands an almost 50 percent chance of picking up at least a point.

Kashef, our artificial intelligence (AI) predictor, is to the 2022 World Cup what Paul the Octopus was to the 2010 edition. Kashef has been playing with historical data and performance to predict the results of each game, all the way to the final. Kashef is predicting a win for England this afternoon. Good start to Harry Kane's team if things go according to Kashef's plans. The European team to come out on top in the second match of the day as well, says Kashef.
