Shared prompt

You are evaluating a FIFA World Cup 2026 match using the same public match packet as every model. Match: Mexico vs South Africa. Use the official FIFA ranking snapshot, OpenFootball kickoff and venue context, recent form, World Cup history, head-to-head history, public squad profile, availability summary, and the low-confidence projected XI baseline included in the packet. Return win/draw/loss probabilities, three predicted scorelines sorted by descending probability, key reasoning, and confidence. Keep predicted_score equal to the highest-probability scoreline candidate for scoring compatibility. Do not use private odds, hidden scouting data, or rumor-only injury reports.
