Spain vs. Cabo Verde - Exact Score

Active sub-markets

Market context

Spain will face Cabo Verde in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on 15 June at 12:00 PM ET. The market settles on the exact final score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and penalties. Any score not explicitly listed resolves to "Any Other Score." The 2% implied probability for a specific exact scoreline reflects the mathematical rarity of predicting one precise outcome among dozens of plausible results in international football.

Historical precedent shows exact-score markets in major tournaments typically concentrate probability mass on a small cluster of outcomes. Spain's recent tournament performances—reaching the Euro 2024 semi-finals and maintaining a strong qualifying record—position them as heavy favourites. Cabo Verde, ranked 163rd by FIFA, has never qualified for a World Cup and competes in a lower competitive tier. The probability distribution in exact-score markets tends to skew toward Spain victories by 2–3 goals, with 2–0 and 3–0 outcomes historically capturing the largest share of YES probability in comparable mismatches.

Traders should monitor squad announcements and injury updates through June, particularly Spain's defensive and attacking personnel. Fixture scheduling within the group stage may affect team rotation; Spain's position in the standings heading into this match will influence tactical approach. Weather conditions at the venue and any late-minute lineup changes announced on match day will influence scoring patterns. The settlement window closes at 16:00 UTC on 15 June, allowing only the official final whistle result to determine resolution.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
