Artificial Intelligence predicts the champion
Following the upcoming start of the final phase of Clausura 2024, Free Press consulted with different artificial intelligences about which team will be the winner of the tournament.
The tools used were Gemini from Google and Copilot de Microsoft.
The first established percentages for each of the duels for the quarterfinals Taking into account the performance of the teams at home and away throughout the tournament, it also considered the history between the clubs and the current moment of form with which they reach the decisive phase. The favorites to advance according to Gemini are Municipal, Antigua, Mixco and Comunicaciones.
These were their conclusions:
Municipal vs Malacateco
- Municipal: Favorite to advance, with a 60% probability. They have a strong record against Malacateco and a solid performance at home.
- Malacateco: He will have a tough battle, with a 40% probability. You should make the most of your location to have options.
Antigua vs Xinabajul
- Antigua: Slight favorite, with a 55% probability. It arrives in good condition and with an effective game.
- Xinabajul: A rival that should not be underestimated, with a 45% probability. They have proven to be a dangerous team at home.
Mixed vs. Achuapa
- Mixco: Part with an advantage, with 55% probability. They have been a consistent team throughout the tournament.

According to Gemini, Comunicaciones is the team with the greatest probability of lifting the Clausura 2024 crown, while Municipal and Antigua are also contenders: “Their solidity in all lines, experience in previous tournaments and the level of their players make them the main favorite. However, Municipal and Antigua present themselves as serious candidates who could surprise and reach the final,” reasoned Artificial Intelligence.
Copilot, Microsfot’s tool for its part differs from Gemini and reasoned that the champion will be Municipal. The AI established a percentage of the probability that each team has of lifting the title.
Probability percentages of winning the tournament according to Copilot:
- Municipal: 35% – Their consistency and leadership on the table make them the main candidate.
- Antigua: 25% – A strong contender with a solid track record in the tournament.
- Communications: 15% – Despite their recent streak, they have the experience and skill to turn things around.
- Coban: 10% – A solid team that could surprise if they maintain their current form.
- Mixco: 5% – A possible dark horse in the tournament, but will need to overcome stronger teams.
- Achuapa: 4% – A competitive team that could cause some surprises.
- Xinabajul: 3% – They will have to fight hard against teams with better records.
- Malacateco: 3% – The least likely, but in football, anything can happen.
Copilot establishes these percentages based on subjective estimates based on the teams’ historical and recent performance, these should be taken as a general guide rather than an exact prediction.
