The start of the new LaLiga EA Sports season is just around the corner. For this reason, many fans, specialists and the general public have begun to make their predictions for the next campaign. In the 2023/2024 season, Real Madrid was the winner, followed by FC Barcelona that finished ahead of Girona, which was the great revelation of the year. The new edition of the tournament promises to be just as exciting, so the predictions are beginning to reveal their first surprises.
In that sense, 'The Analyst's' supercomputer has revealed all of his predictions for this course. This AI model is based on betting market odds and Opta Power Rankings, a company that looks at historical and recent team performances. What this mechanism does is repeat the meetings between the teams thousands of times to obtain a clear result and then the final forecast is offered.
The top favorite to win LaLiga
According to the data managed by Opta, Real Madrid is the great candidate to retain the LaLiga title. According to the analysis, they will win overwhelmingly, because Carlo Ancelotti's team is expected to reach 89 points in the table. Based on 'The Analyst', second is Barcelona with 76 points, 13 points away from the merengue team. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé, added to the double achieved by the whites last year, would have had to do with the 'overwhelming' difference.The other teams classified for the Champions League, according to the computer, will be Atlético de Madrid with 69 points and Girona with 65, closely followed by Athletic Club and Real Sociedad.
The fight for European positions
The fight for European competitions seems quite 'close'. The two Basque clubs will be hot on the heels of teams like Villarreal, Betis and Sevilla. It is important to take into account that the fifth placed team enters the Europa League and the sixth place enters the Conference League, so there will be four teams with less than ten points for two vacant positions, according to Opta. The supercomputer leaves teams like Valencia or Celta far away, which would be closer to the relegation zone.
The relegation will be played until the last day
Finally, for the lower part of the table, 'The Analyst' has positioned the three newly promoted teams as last classified. The prediction leaves Leganés as bottom, Valladolid second to last and Espanyol last, all with less than a point difference, while teams like Las Palmas or Rayo are expected to have a bad time until the last day. A clear message about how 'incredible' this new edition of the Spanish championship promises to be.
