Supercomputer predicts how likely Tottenham are to beat Fulham as Pedro Porro returns

1 hour ago 18

Opta’s Supercomputer has revealed who the favourites are between Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Tottenham were taught a lesson by their North London rivals, who were simply too good for a depleted Spurs side when they turned the screw in the second half on Sunday.

The result leaves the Lilywhites just four points off the drop zone, and Igor Tudor now knows, if he did not already, that he has a massive challenge on his hands.

Tottenham now make the trip up to West London for another Premier League London derby next Sunday, with West Ham and Nottingham Forest now breathing down their necks.

Opta deem Fulham major favourites against Tottenham in the Premier League

According to Opta, the home side are comfortable favourites to get three points, with their supercomputer giving them a 45.8 per cent chance of doing so.

Spurs have been given a 27.5 per cent chance of getting an away win, while a draw is deemed 26.7 per cent likely.

However, the worry for Tottenham is that West Ham are gaining ground on them and continues to grind out points and close the gap.

Spurs could be boosted by the return of key men against Fulham.

Speaking after his side’s 4-2 loss, Tudor admitted that Tottenham could have two injured players back this week.

Pedro Porro is expected to be back for Spurs after missing the last month of action due to a hamstring problem.

Tudor will be hoping we see some quick recoveries over the coming weeks as Tottenham need all the help they can get to get themselves out of their current predicament.
