A supercomputer has made a bold prediction about Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League campaign, suggesting the Lilywhites will reach the semifinals before being eliminated, as reported by Football London.
The AI analysis, provided by Grosvenor Sport, sees Spurs putting up a strong fight but ultimately falling short of securing the trophy.
With the new Europa League format featuring eight group-stage matches (four home, four away), the forecast suggests that Spurs will finish 11th overall, which would force them into a two-legged playoff round.
Despite the challenging path, the AI predicts victories for Tottenham against Rangers in the playoffs, followed by triumphs over Midtjylland and Union SG, setting up a semifinal showdown.
However, the supercomputer forecasts that Manchester United will be Tottenham’s undoing, with the Red Devils advancing to the final.
Manchester United are expected to finish in the top eight of the group stages, which would grant them a direct route to the last-16, and they are tipped to ultimately win the competition by defeating Athletic Club Bilbao in a dramatic final, settled on penalties.
While the AI has Tottenham coming close to Europa League glory, fans will hope the prediction underestimates their chances of going all the way under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance.
