# Helga World Cup Predictions

> Data-driven FIFA World Cup 2026 forecasts from Helga: match score probabilities, provider-neutral predictions, SRF and 20min tip recommendations, result history, tournament probabilities, and a machine-readable JSON API.

This static site publishes localized HTML pages for humans and a JSON feed for agents. Treat the JSON API as the freshest structured source. HTML pages provide canonical URLs, hreflang alternates, OpenGraph/Twitter metadata, and SportsEvent JSON-LD on match detail pages.

Display times are formatted for Europe/Zurich. API timestamps and fixture dates use UTC where available. Predictions and provider-specific tips can change until kickoff; final rows include confirmed results and scoring outcomes.

## Notes for LLMs

- The core forecast is provider-neutral; SRF and 20min tips are optimization layers on top of the neutral prediction data.
- Prefer fixture keys, FIFA team codes, and JSON fields over localized display labels when comparing rows.
- Use localized HTML pages for human-readable summaries and the JSON API for exact current values.
- Do not infer that predictions are final before kickoff; open and locked matches can still differ from confirmed results.
