Supercomputer predicts 2023/24 Premier League table
Joao Pinto, the captain of Porto's European Cup-winning side in 1987, infamously said: "I only make predictions after the game." The powers of computational analysis have been significantly developed in the subsequent decades - although, a prediction in May would still be slightly more accurate. While Pinto has ten months to mull over his best guess, less patient spectators can turn to Opta 's fearsome supercomputer. The sports statistics giant has run 10,000 simulations of the entire fixture list for the coming campaign, where each team's strength is calculated as a mix of betting market odds and a hierarchical Elo-based rating system. Here's how the 2023/24 Premier League season is expected to shake out.
