Supercomputer predicts Man Utd win in Premier League round 9

The prediction of the supercomputer Opta, supported by AI technology, on Man Utd's victory over Sheffield United in round 9 of the Premier League at 02:00 on October 22 is said to be well-founded.

The 2-1 comeback win over Brentford in the 8th round of the Premier League somewhat helped relieve the pressure on Man Utd. That is also the reason why the supercomputer Opta assessed the chance of victory of Coach Ten Hag's team in the away match at Sheffield United (2am on October 22, Vietnam time) to be up to 52.4%.

On the contrary, with only 1 point after 8 rounds, Sheffield United's chance of winning against the "Red Devils" is assessed at only 20.5%, and there is a 27.1% chance the match will end in a draw.

In the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton taking place at 6:30 p.m. today (October 21, Vietnam time), coach Jurgen Klopp's team is rated higher in the ability to win all 3 points thanks to playing at home at Anfield, with a rate of 67%. Meanwhile, Everton's chance of winning is only 12.2%.

The Opta supercomputer's assessment is completely well-founded. Not only is Liverpool's performance much better than Everton's this season, but according to statistics, in 25 matches against the same city team, the "Red Brigade" has only lost 1 match.

Another outstanding match in round 9 of the Premier League takes place between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge at 11:30 p.m. on October 21 (Vietnam time).

Mauricio Pochettino's side have had a shaky start but have shown some promising signs in recent weeks. Mikel Arteta's Gunners have had an encouraging start to the season, with Arsenal making a big splash in round 8 of the Premier League when they beat Man City.

The Opta supercomputer rates the two teams' chances of winning as almost equal (Arsenal have a 36.3% chance of winning and Chelsea 34.7%). The probability of this match ending in a draw is very high at 29%.

Meanwhile, reigning Premier League champions Man City have lost three of their last four games, but have a chance to resolve their "mini crisis" at home against Brighton at 9pm tonight (Vietnam time).

The Opta supercomputer predicts Man City's chances of winning against Brighton at 68.8%, while Brighton only has an 11.1% chance of winning all 3 points against the Etihad team. In the last 12 confrontations, coach Pep Guardiola's team has won 10 matches.

Tottenham is also considered to have a 51.8% chance of winning against Fulham. Coach Ange Postecoglou's team is showing impressive form with the top position after 8 rounds (same 20 points as Arsenal but with a better goal difference).
