Opta predicted final 2024/25 Premier League table updated after weekend results – Here we go | OneFootball

What do you predict with the final 2024/25 Premier League table?

Following these weekend results.

Nine Premier League matches played on Saturday and Sunday, this was the 31st round of PL games.

Newcastle United set to conclude the round of matches, playing tonight away at Leicester.

It could hardly have gone any better really from a black and white perspective!

The nine clubs who started the weekend in the top half of the table, seven of the nine dropped points in their matches.

Premier League results on Saturday and Sunday:

Everton 1 Arsenal 1

Palace 2 Brighton 1

Ipswich 1 Wolves 2

West Ham 2 Bournemouth 2

Villa 2 Forest 1

Brentford 0 Chelsea 0

Fulham 3 Liverpool 2

Spurs 3 Southampton 1

Man U 0 Man City 0

As you can see, only Fulham and Villa won, of those teams with any kind of hope of Champions League qualification.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Forest, Chelsea, Man City, Bournemouth and Brighton all dropping points.

This is how the Premier League table currently (Monday 7 April 2025) looks:

When it comes to predicting what that final Premier League table will look like after the 38th round of fixtures in May 2025, Opta have done some updated analysis following those weekend matches.

Using their latest data simulations, Opta analysis has shown this as the most likely 2024/25 Premier League table come the end of the season – Predicted table as at 7 April 2025:

As you can see, Newcastle United predicted to finish in a Champions League top five place, fifth on 65 points.

Forecast to finish three points behind Forest, one adrift of Man City, two ahead of Chelsea.

A couple of draws in those Sunday matches and a win for Newcastle, that would do for me.

As you can see above, the Opta model currently predicting a 37% chance of Newcastle United qualifying for the Champions League via finishing top four.

However, the reality is that Newcastle United have a much higher chance of Champions League football than via that top four prediction, as it will be top five who qualify.

It is now ‘virtually impossible‘ for the Premier League not to get one of the two extra Champions League places, based on collective results in Europe this season for all leagues.

Now a case of just having to follow through on that trophy win at Wembley and getting Champions League football as well.

Starting at all but relegated already Leicester away from home tonight, then home games against Man U and Palace after that, these next three matches a massive chance for Newcastle to put themselves in a powerful position.
