The blue and white team would have a 70% chance of going down to the Smartbank League after matchday 30
Elche, with 100%, and Almería, with 41%, would be the other two teams with the highest percentage of descent
We are entering the final stretch of the season and now, in addition to ‘playing’ with the famous calculator, it remains to guess which teams will be the ones that will get into the Champions League, the ones that will go to the Europa League, the one that will go to the Conference and the three teams that they will go to the Smartbank League. Difficult to make predictions but machines have no feeling. And they have made a forecast.
According to Opta’s ‘Supercomputer’, right now the three teams with the highest percentage of chances of going down to the Second Division would be Elche, Espanyol and Almeria. How do you put those percentages? The ‘Supercomputer’ simulates up to 10,000 possible scenarios and takes into account the history of the teams, the situation they are currently going through and the ‘power ranking’something that in the United States is very common that analyzes dynamics.
Well, with all that, Elche is already without salvation options, with a 100% probability of relegation. From behind, Espanyol would arrive, who see how the possibility goes from 66.3% that accumulated at the end of the last day, to 70% after the dispute of number 30. The last in discord would be Almeríawhich after its defeat against Athletic passes Valencia with a 41% chance of being a Second team next season.
This is nothing more than a prediction made by a machine and we already know that in football the possibilities and predictions are of little use. But it is a reality that Elche, Espanyol and Almería face. Results are needed.
