Interesting overview of Newcastle United for the season and Saturdays match against Southampton.<\/p>\n
The super computer model predictions are based on the FiveThirtyEight revision to the Soccer Power Index, which is a rating mechanism for football teams which takes account of over half a million matches, and is based on Optas play-by-play data.<\/p>\n
They have analysed all Premier League matches this weekend, including Newcastle United hosting Southampton.<\/p>\n
Their computer model gives Southampton a 34% chance of a win, it is 28% for a draw and a 38% possibility of a Newcastle win (percentage probabilities rounded up\/down to nearest whole number).<\/p>\n
When it comes to winning the title, they have the probability Man City an 88% chance, Man Utd 7% and Liverpool 4%.<\/p>\n
Also interesting to see how the computer model rates the percentage probability chances of relegation as we are now past the halfway point:<\/p>\n
97% West Brom<\/p>\n
86% Sheff Utd<\/p>\n
70% Fulham<\/p>\n
27% Newcastle United<\/p>\n
12% Burnley<\/p>\n
2% Brighton<\/p>\n
2% Palace<\/p>\n
2% Wolves<\/p>\n
This is how the actual Premier League table looks on Thursday morning, Brightons 1-0 win at Anfield having a real impact in terms of both title winning and relegation probability.<\/p>\n
Brighton having beaten both Spurs and Liverpool in the matter of a few days and without conceding a single goal, seeing them put results on top of the often excellent football Graham Potter had them playing.<\/p>\n
The relegation race looking increasingly likely to revolve around whether any of the bottom three can manage to break out and close on the likes of Newcastle and \/ or Burnley.<\/p>\n
Amazingly, Sheffield United suddenly winning three of their last five after no wins in their first 17 PL matches.<\/p>\n
Sheff Utd still have to visit St James Park but Newcastle have away games at West Brom, Fulham, Burnley and Brighton.<\/p>\n
