Supercomputer predicts where Tottenham will finish in Premier League after Aston Villa defeat

Opta’s Supercomputer has revised its prediction on where Tottenham Hotspur will finish this season after their latest Premier League loss against Aston Villa.

According to Opta, Tottenham were marginal favourites to beat Aston Villa going into Sunday’s game, but it was the Villans who walked away with all three points from N17.

The result means that Spurs are still winless at home in the Premier League this season since their opening day victory over Burnley.

Ahead of this weekend, Opta had predicted that Tottenham would finish in eighth place in the Premier League this season, but that has now been revised.

Tottenham drop down Opta’s prediction table

Opta’s algorithm has now been updated since the weekend’s results, and Spurs have now dropped two places in their revised prediction.

Following Villa’s win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Supercomputer now predicts Thomas Frank’s men will finish in 10th place, accumulating 54.61 points.

As per the website’s calculations, the likes of Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle are all expected to finish above Spurs.

How likely are Spurs to qualify for the Champions League?

Even more worryingly, after this weekend’s result, Tottenham are given just a 10.3 per cent chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Tottenham’s opponents on Sunday, Aston Villa, have been deemed twice as likely to do so, being handed a 20.3 per cent chance of securing Champions League qualification.

Opta put Spurs’ chances of qualifying for either the Champions League or the Europa League at just 16.5 per cent cumulatively, which means that they have deemed the Lilywhites huge outsiders for a top-six finish.
