50% — South Africa vs Canada
Kalshi 50% · 4 contracts · $9.3M volume · medium confidence
Updated 2026-07-13 03:30:30 UTC

Why this matters:
This 50% probability indicates that prediction markets view South Africa and Canada as evenly matched for advancing in their matchup. The even split likely reflects uncertainty around team form, head-to-head records, and venue conditions. Key factors driving the probability include each team's recent performance metrics, injury status, and historical outcomes in similar competitive contexts. The primary catalyst for resolving this uncertainty will be the actual match result, which will immediately determine the outcome. Market participants are essentially pricing in a genuine competitive balance between the two teams based on available performance data.

Key factors:
- Head-to-head historical win rates and goal differential between South Africa and Canada in recent matchups
- Current squad injury status and player availability for both teams entering the match
- Venue location and home-field advantage dynamics affecting performance levels
- Recent form metrics including points accumulated and goals scored/conceded in preceding fixtures
- Market volume concentration across the two outcome contracts, indicating confidence or uncertainty among traders

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
