Predicting the rest of the Premier League and other tournaments

Premier League

With a long season interrupted due to the World Cup, many people believe that Arsenal will lose their excitement. However, Premier League statistics show that 13 of the 18 teams leading the rankings at Christmas will become the final champions.

The rate of 72% is very high and reality is also proving that Arsenal's form this season is not just a temporary one. The Gunners have won five and drawn one of their all competitions since the World Cup, not only taking them into the fourth round of the FA Cup but also keeping them firmly in the Premier League.

Remember, in the recent matches, Arsenal won both Tottenham and Manchester United, and drew with Newcastle, who are changing strongly.

Newcastle are changing but are not strong enough to win, so they have drawn 9 matches and it is not easy to compete for the championship. Manchester City have lost 3 matches and are 5 points behind Arsenal, but in the second half of the season, they will still be the biggest challenge.

Man City seems to have more ambitions in the Champions League, so although Arsenal still have the Europa League, they still have an advantage in the Premier League.

In the race for the Top 4, Liverpool and Chelsea are at a disadvantage, if there are no special changes in the mid-season transfer window, they will probably only strive for a ticket to the Europa League.

Many teams are in the danger zone at the end of the rankings, so the second half of the season will be very unpredictable.

La Liga

After the shock of being eliminated in the Champions League, Barcelona gradually returned and took advantage of Real Madrid's stumbles to lead La Liga. Not yet a first- leg champion, but after winning the Spanish Super Cup, experts believe that there will be something special for Xavi and his students in the near future.

Real Madrid are still persistent in chasing with 3 points less. Barca cannot be subjective, because the White Vultures under Zinedine Zidane or Carlo Ancelotti often accelerate in the second half of the season.

Los Blancos are still tasked with defending their title in the Champions League, but the quality of their squad is good enough to share in the arenas. If Barca do not advance deep in the Europa League - first meeting Man United in the play-off round, they will have a better chance to win La Liga.

With Real Sociedad in stable form, the race for the remaining tickets to the Top 4 and 2 tickets to the Europa League will be quite tense. The relegation battle will also be very fierce as the points gap is not too far apart.

Bundesliga

Opponents may have drawn 5 matches after 16 rounds with Bayern Munich, but the gap between the "Gray Tigers" and the nearest team is still 5 points. Basically, because the teams still have to meet each other, it is difficult to overthrow Bayern.

Therefore, the hottest part is still the race for a ticket to the Champions League, when the Bundesliga will have 4 tickets.

Serie A

The shock of being deducted 15 points caused Juventus to fall between the rankings and now, competing for a ticket to the Europa League is also difficult for them. AS Roma could benefit from that, as Napoli run towards the finish line.

Ligue 1

A fake drama is being seen in Ligue 1 as Paris St Germain have lost 2 of their last 3 rounds, keeping the gap with the second team, Lens, at just 4 points. However, PSG's strength is strong enough to predict a chance of winning the championship of up to 98.5%.

Lens and Marseille will compete directly for a place in the Champions League, while the bottom group will be very tense with 4 teams having to be relegated.
