The UEFA EURO 2020 final is predicted to be between England and France, according to algorithms developed by bioinformatics experts. Unfortunately for German fans, the algorithms also predict that Germany will be knocked out in the round of 16. The software, called Phylourny, was developed by scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies. It is based on the tree-cutting algorithm of US evolutionary biologist Joseph Felsenstein, which has been modified to efficiently and accurately calculate tournament results. The software was demonstrated using the UEFA EURO 2020 as an example.
