The BETSiE supercomputer, powered by Bettingexpert, has employed extensive simulations, considering last season’s results, pre-season data, and current form, to predict the winner of this season’s Premier League.
Arsenal, initially poised to secure the English title, faced an unexpected shift when an injury to William Saliba forced them to surrender the top spot to Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta, determined to clinch his first English title in two decades, strategically invested in strengthening the squad by acquiring Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber.
Despite Timber’s absence since the opening weekend, Arsenal managed to reignite the title race. Presently occupying the third position with 64 points, they are on par with Liverpool and hold a narrow one-point lead over Manchester City.
Although Arsenal trails slightly, the competition among the top three clubs is remarkably close. In the event of the championship being decided by goal difference, the Gunners emerge as the best-prepared team.
Achieving a historic feat, they became the first and only team to secure three consecutive away victories in the Premier League, each with a margin of five or more goals, notably a 6-0 triumph over Sheffield United.
While the title won’t be determined solely by goal difference, the BETSiE supercomputer predicts that, in its 100,000 simulations, Arsenal will clinch the top spot ahead of Liverpool based on goal difference. Both teams are projected to finish with 86 points, and Arsenal boasts a substantial nine-point advantage in goal difference over their rivals.
According to the simulation, Manchester City secures the third spot with 84 points, while Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur claim the fourth and fifth positions. The supercomputer’s projections place Manchester United and Newcastle in sixth and seventh place, with Chelsea securing the eighth spot and West Ham finishing ninth.
As for relegation predictions, BETSiE anticipates Sheffield United and Burnley facing relegation from League One. Additionally, Luton Town is forecasted to return to the Championship, trailing nine points from safety, based on the comprehensive simulations conducted by the supercomputer.
