We take a look to see Tottenham’s relegation chances have improved as per Opta’s Supercomputer after their first league win in nearly four months.
Roberto De Zerbi had boldly claimed that Tottenham could win all of their final five league games following their 2-2 draw with Brighton.
However, many would have wondered if the Italian really believed that or if he was simply saying that to boost the confidence of his players.
After all, Spurs had not won a league game since the start of 2026, but that changed at the Molineux Stadium, with the Lilywhites emerging with a hard-fought 1-0 win.
Opta say Tottenham’s survival chances remain almost unchanged
Ahead of the weekend, Tottenham were given a 58.33 per cent chance of going down, compared to West Ham’s 36.9 per cent.
Opta’s Supercomputer has now updated its numbers after both the Hammers and Spurs picked up important Premier League wins on Saturday.
However, Tottenham’s relegation chances remain almost unchanged, with the data analysis platform suggesting that the Lilywhites have a 58.57 per cent chance of joining Wolves and Burnley in the Championship next season.
West Ham’s relegation chances have gone up slightly to 38.26 per cent despite their win over the Toffees.
Nottingham Forest and Leeds are still not out of the relegation race
Opta seem to suggest that the race to avoid finishing 18th is between the Hammers and Spurs, with the wesbite giving Nottingham Forest and Leeds only a 1.89 per cent chance and 1.17 per cent chance respectively of going down.
However, Forest travel to Stamford Bridge next, and the game is sandwiched between the two legs of their Europa League semi-finals against Aston Villa.
A loss for Forest in West London and a win for Tottenham next weekend at Villa Park will see Spurs move to within two points of the Midlands side.
Spurs also play Leeds on May 12 and may have an opportunity to bring Daniel Farke’s side back into the relegation scrap with a win.
