Argentina take on Croatia in the first semifinal of World Cup 2022. Kashef, our artificial intelligence (AI) robot, has analysed more than 200 metrics, including the number of wins, goals scored and FIFA rankings, from matches played over the past century to see who is most likely to win on Tuesday. Croatia's quarterfinal win over Brazil on December 9 not only stunned the footballing world, but it also flummoxed Kashef – only for a moment, though. Our robot correctly predicted Argentina's victory over the Netherlands on Friday, the second quarterfinal of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Prediction: Lionel Messi will attempt to guide Argentina into the final for the second time in eight years against 2018 World Cup runners-up Croatia.
