The choice of the supercomputer was neither Tottenham nor Liverpool.
With the battle for the top spot in the English Premier League fiercely every round, Newcastle United was the last team in the semifinals predicted by the supercomputer a week ahead of the A match break.
According to the British ‘The Sun’, Newcastle is predicted to be in fourth place with 67.8 points if they complete all 38 games in the 2022/23 season.
In the home game against Wolverhampton on the 13th, Newcastle gave up an equalizer to Hwang Hee-chan, but Miguel Almiron’s final shot in the 34th minute of the second half gave Newcastle a 2-1 win. With a record of 11 wins, 11 draws and 3 losses (44 points), they kept 5th place after Tottenham (48 points), who defeated Nottingham 3-1 the day before.
Even though Newcastle is in 5th place, the reason why it is predicted to be in 4th place, which is the last to get a ticket to the UEFA Champions League, is because the number of games they have played is still small. Newcastle have played less in the Premier League than other teams, having reached the League Cup final. Having played 25 games, it was two less than Tottenham, who had already finished 27 games.
Arithmetically, Newcastle could rank higher than Tottenham. 먹튀검증
However, it is worth raising a counterargument whether the predictions of the supercomputer can be trusted as Newcastle are struggling recently, barely winning after 2 draws and 2 losses in the Premier League. Newcastle has been increasing investment since the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund took over two years ago, and as a result, the level of players has continued to rise, and this season they are on their way to the semifinals.
On the other hand, Tottenham, who took a breather by beating Nottingham, was expected to rank fifth with 64.7 points. In addition, Liverpool, which recently defeated Man Utd 7-0 at home, is showing a shock defeat and ups and downs with a 0-1 defeat in the subsequent Bournemouth expedition, but the supercomputer scored 61.5 points, only finishing 7th behind Brighton (62.7 points). it was predicted
In addition, Chelsea is predicted to be ninth with 52.7 points, and Bournemouth, Everton, and Southampton are selected as the three relegated teams in the second division.
