There Are 10 Matchdays Left Until the End of a League That Promises to Be Exciting. But There's No Need to Wait Until May 25 to Know The Champion's Name. Artificial Intelligence Already Knows and Opta Has Made It Public.
Barça's 2-4 at the Metropolitano, along with the 0-4 in the clásico, give FC Barcelona an advantage over their rivals to win LaLiga.
Opta's Computer Declares Barça as Champion
For Opta's supercomputer, things are very clear and on May 25, it will be FC Barcelona who will celebrate the title of LaLiga. It will be their 28th League.
The match that Barça has pending against Osasuna in Montjuïc also plays in their favor. Winning it would place them three points ahead of Real Madrid with both the head-to-head and overall goal average in their favor.
That is to say, Real Madrid would have to make up 4 points in the ten remaining matchdays to finish the competition. It wouldn't be enough to win in Montjuïc, although if they do so by a greater margin than the 0-4 in the first leg, it would suffice.
That return clásico will be played in Barcelona on matchday 35 and could be decisive in the final outcome of the championship.
Barça Has a 68.5% Chance of Being Champion
According to Opta, Flick's team has a 68.5% chance of winning the title. Real Madrid's chances are reduced to 28.5%. Atlético has a 2.9% chance of being champion and a 17.5% chance of finishing second.
For the fourth place that grants access to the Champions League, Athletic has all the favorable predictions; 81.8%. Villarreal would be fifth and Betis sixth.
The fifth place contested by Villarreal and Betis could be important if it is confirmed that Spain will have one more representative in the Champions League.
For the relegation spots, Valladolid has all the numbers (97.7% chance of finishing last). They would be joined in relegation by Las Palmas and Leganés.
These are the conclusions of Artificial Intelligence about LaLiga.
