Tottenham are clearly in favour of securing fourth place.
Tottenham produced a thrilling 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the 32nd round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League EPL held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Tottenham was able to move up to fourth place with this victory.
After the 32nd round of the EPL ended, soccer statistics outlet OPTA revised its final ranking prediction for each team based on the supercomputer. Tottenham’s chance of fourth place stood at a whopping 63.3 percent, based on the results of tens of thousands of simulations. Aston Villa, which is currently in fifth place, had a 35.8 percent chance of rising to fourth place.
The scenario in which Manchester United, which is currently ranked sixth, or Newcastle United, which is ranked eighth, miraculously moves up to fourth place has not disappeared completely. However, the possibility of the two scenarios becoming reality was less than 1 percent.
In order for Tottenham to make 63.3 percent of its possibility into reality, it is important how it concludes the four consecutive games of death. Starting with its upcoming away match at Newcastle, Tottenham will play Arsenal home, Chelsea away and Liverpool away.
Even if Newcastle is not as strong as last season and Chelsea are struggling in the middle-ranked battle all season, it is not strange what happens during the last-minute ranking fight of the season. This is because teams on the brink of escaping from the relegation zone sometimes overpower teams competing to win the EPL.
Meeting Arsenal and Liverpool is always tricky. The motivation is huge as the two teams are currently competing to win the EPL. Tottenham’s fate can be reversed depending on how Son Heung-min will perform against Arsenal and Liverpool.
On top of that, Tottenham also has a home game against Manchester City, which has been postponed due to its schedule for the semifinals of the English FA Cup. Except for meetings with five tricky teams, the remaining two games are easier. This is because they will meet Burnley and Sheffield United, who are already very likely to be relegated, at the end of the league. At that time, the relegation of the two teams to the second division could be confirmed, so it will not be difficult for Tottenham to face each other.
If Tottenham finishes the season in fourth place, it will return to the European Champions League UCL, the war of stars, in two years. It will be a good evidence of the success of the appointment of Enze Postecoglou. There were many voices of concern when Postecoglou was first appointed, but Postecoglou was one of Son Heung-min
It successfully reorganized the deliberation team.
If Tottenham fails to finish the season in fourth place, hopes of returning to the UCL do not disappear. As the UCL competition system changes from next season, a scenario in which fifth place in the EPL can also advance to the UCL is possible.
It depends on the EPL teams’ performance in the European competition in the 2023-2024 season. The remaining EPL clubs are still doing well in the European competition. The fifth place in the EPL this season is also highly likely to advance to the UCL. Tottenham’s chances of ranking fifth are estimated at 34%. Tottenham’s probability of being pushed out of the fifth place is only 2.7%. 안전 토토사이트
