A prediction has emerged that Son Heung-min's (34, LAFC) former club, Tottenham, will ultimately be relegated.
On the 27th (Korean time), the UK's 'The Sun' reported on Tottenham's slim chances of escaping the relegation zone, citing a supercomputer's forecast of the final English Premier League (EPL) standings.
Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton in an away match in EPL Round 34 on the 25th, thanks to a winning goal by Joao Palhinha. Having finally escaped a 15-game winless streak (6 draws, 9 losses), Tottenham barely kept its hopes of staying in the EPL alive. With four league matches remaining, the team sits in 18th place with 34 points (8 wins, 10 draws, 16 losses), placing it in the relegation zone and leaving its situation still precarious.
While this victory carried significant meaning as Tottenham's first win of the year, the club suffered a major blow by losing key attackers Dominic Solanke and Savi Simons simultaneously due to injuries. In particular, Simons was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and will be unable to participate in any remaining fixtures.
The media explained, "Amid the fierce competition for EPL survival, even luck has turned its back on Tottenham. This is because West Ham defeated Everton last weekend. For four minutes immediately after Kieran Dewsbury-Hall of Everton scored an equalizer, Tottenham briefly moved out of the relegation zone by leading in goal difference. However, after Callum Wilson of West Ham scored a dramatic winning goal in the 48th minute of the second half, Tottenham fell back into the relegation zone, occupying one of the bottom three positions."
The supercomputer, designed by experts from betting company 'AceOdds', has cast a dark outlook on Tottenham's final results. Tottenham is set to face Aston Villa (away), Leeds United (home), Chelsea (away), and Everton (home) in sequence.
The supercomputer analyzed that Tottenham will manage to gain only 4 points from these four matches, finishing with a total of 38 points. This is the same point total they achieved last season when they barely survived in 17th place.
The problem lies in the results of the other teams competing for survival. West Ham, currently in 17th place and managed by Nuno Espirito Santo, is scheduled to face Brentford (away), Newcastle (away), Arsenal (home), and Leeds (home) in the remaining fixtures. The supercomputer predicts that West Ham will also secure 4 points, finishing in 17th place with 40 points and surviving. Nottingham Forest, currently in 16th place with 43 points, is also expected to survive safely. Consequently, the supercomputer predicts that Tottenham will have to drink the bitter cup of relegation.
Meanwhile, the supercomputer forecasts that Arsenal will achieve three wins and one draw, finishing with 83 points to claim the EPL title. Manchester City is predicted to record three wins, one draw, and one loss in their remaining five matches, finishing in second place with 80 points.
