Q:

Can data science accurately forecast the winner of Copa America 2024?

I tried using various data science models to predict the winner of Copa America 2021, incorporating player statistics, team performance metrics, and historical data. Despite my efforts, the actual outcome differed significantly from my predictions. Can data science really forecast the winner of Copa America 2024 considering factors like team chemistry, injuries during the tournament, and unpredictable elements? How reliable are these models in sports forecasting?

Given the unpredictability of sports, how can we better incorporate qualitative factors like team chemistry and player morale into predictive models for tournaments like Copa America? Are there any successful case studies in sports analytics that have managed to account for these variables?
