Tottenham sits third in UEL win probability at 17%, must rely on Chat GPT’s prediction

Can Tottenham Hotspur write a turnaround? An analysis has revealed that Tottenham's probability of winning the UEFA Europa League (UEL) is 17%.

'Score 90,' a producer of football content, noted on the 17th (Korean time) that this is the "probability of UEL victory based on the bookmakers' dividends" and introduced five candidates for the UEL championship.

The most likely champion is 'the powerhouse of Spain,' Athletic Club. Athletic, which advanced with a stunning turnaround victory over AS Roma in the round of 16, recorded a 20% probability of winning. The quarterfinal matchup against Rangers is also quite favorable.

In second place was Manchester United. Manchester United has a 19% chance of winning, with only a 1% difference from Athletic. Although they are struggling in the Premier League, they showcased their resilience by eliminating Real Sociedad in the round of 16. Their quarterfinal opponent is Olympique Lyon, one of the representative teams from France.

Next, Italy's Lazio and Tottenham ranked jointly in third place with 17%. Since there is not much difference from Athletic, they are effectively classified into the top four. Eintracht Frankfurt, the '4th place team in the Bundesliga' that will clash with Tottenham in the quarterfinals, has a 5th place probability of winning at 11%. This analysis suggests that it wouldn't be surprising if anyone wins.

Currently, the UEL is Tottenham's last hope. Their league goals have already been long gone, having been eliminated from both the League Cup (Carabao Cup) and the FA Cup. Winning the UEL is essentially the only chance to qualify for European competition next season.

The performance in the Premier League (PL) is particularly dismal. Tottenham has gone three league matches recently with 1 draw and 2 losses, failing to secure a victory. Their rank is 14th with 34 points (10 wins, 4 draws, and 15 losses). It wouldn't be surprising if they fell further. They are tied on points with West Ham and Everton, but barely ahead on goal difference.

Tottenham has recorded 15 losses in 29 league matches. This is the highest number of league losses since the 2008-2009 season. However, the season is not over yet.

'Tottenham News' noted, "If you are a Tottenham fan, the fact that there are still 9 more matches left is really frightening. They are having the worst season lately," adding that "Tottenham will face Chelsea, Liverpool, Nottingham, and Aston Villa while also having matches left against higher-ranked Brighton and Crystal Palace. Fans will be terrified of this."

The problem is that the outlook for the UEL is not very bright either. Former Tottenham player Jamie O'Hara stated, "Tottenham's performance was once again really poor. There has been inconsistency throughout this season," adding that "Frankfurt is an excellent team. If they are eliminated from the UEL, there will be a farewell to Ange Postecoglou."

In fact, Tottenham has already begun searching for a successor to Coach Postecoglou. The British 'Telegraph' reported, "If Tottenham dismisses Postecoglou, Iraola and Silva are likely candidates. As the pressure for Postecoglou's dismissal grows, alternatives have emerged in case Tottenham needs to make a change."

The outlet noted, "Postecoglou is feeling increased pressure again after losing to Silva's Fulham last Sunday," adding that "the UEL will be significant for Postecoglou's prospects as a coach. It could save Tottenham's season, providing an opportunity for a trophy and to qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL)."

Tottenham fans have long cried out for 'Postecoglou OUT.' Tottenham News argued, "Daniel Levy will likely dismiss Postecoglou now. He has been unable to secure a victory in three league matches, making it difficult to continue leading the North London giant club."

However, OpenAI's 'Chat GPT' has predicted Tottenham's victory. According to Score 90, Chat GPT previously predicted after the first leg of the round of 16 that Tottenham and Sociedad would meet in the finals, featuring a showdown between the two forwards representing each team: Son Heung-min and Takefusa Kubo.

The final victor was Son Heung-min. It was, in fact, a thrilling last-minute victory. Chat GPT predicted that Tottenham would take the lead with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski in the 13th minute but would allow an equalizer from Oihan Sancet in the 49th minute. Then, in the stoppage time of the second half, Son Heung-min would score a dramatic final goal, lifting the championship trophy.

However, Sociedad could not overcome the setback of a red card and was blocked by Manchester United, resulting in elimination. Tottenham still has a chance of winning, but it is inevitable that the opponent in the finals will change. Nevertheless, Tottenham must cling to Chat GPT's pleasant prediction.

If Tottenham indeed rises to the top of the UEL, Son Heung-min will finally succeed in escaping a trophy-less streak. He has spent 10 years at Tottenham without winning even once. Throughout his national team career, the only title he has won is at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, which was a youth competition. Tottenham has also not lifted a trophy for 17 years since winning the League Cup in 2008.
