A supercomputer has predicted that Tottenham will clinch a top-four spot in the Premier League this season, despite their poor start.
Spurs have endured their worst start in 16 years, with only three wins, three losses, and one draw from their first seven games.
Their most recent defeat came against Brighton, where they squandered a two-goal lead, conceding three goals in 18 minutes in a dramatic second-half collapse.
While the results have been disappointing, the performances have not, as Tottenham have played some of the most exciting attacking football in the league under Ange Postecoglou.
However, if Tottenham are to secure a top-four finish, they need to start converting these performances into wins. Their defensive struggles have been costly, with careless mistakes often leading to goals.
According to Opta’s supercomputer (via The Mirror), which simulates each Premier League match 10,000 times based on expected goals (xG) values, Liverpool are tipped to win the title, with Arne Slot leading the Reds to Premier League glory in his debut season.
Chelsea are predicted to finish second, while Manchester City, the reigning champions, are expected to end in third place.
The supercomputer predicts that Spurs will finish fourth, beating out Arsenal, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Newcastle for the final Champions League qualification spot.
Despite Tottenham’s shaky start, there remains optimism that they can turn their fortunes around and achieve a successful season.
TBH Says:
We are not going to get overly excited by some supercomputer’s prediction that, quite frankly, is one of the most unrealistic ones we have seen so far.
That said, there is no reason why we can not finish 4th. The season has only just begun, and there is still plenty of time to turn our fortunes around.
Attacking wise, there seems to be no major problem, with the team scoring plenty of goals. However, we do need to solidify the defence and stop making careless mistakes leading to goals.
