Opta specialists calculated the probabilities of the positions of Russian Premier League teams in the tournament table using a supercomputer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Previously, information was provided about the main favorites of the championship. Now, let's look at how the supercomputer assessed the chances of the Spartak team.
According to the calculations, Spartak's most likely final position is expected to be sixth. The probability of this result is 13.1 percent.
The probabilities for the remaining positions are as follows: first place – 2.9 percent, second place – 4.9 percent, third place – 8.2 percent, fourth place – 10.9 percent, fifth place – 12.8 percent, seventh place – 12.7 percent, eighth place – 10.9 percent, ninth place – 8.2 percent, tenth place – 5.9 percent, eleventh place – 4.3 percent, twelfth place – 2.5 percent, thirteenth place – 1.4 percent, fourteenth place – 0.8 percent, fifteenth place – 0.4 percent, and sixteenth place – 0.1 percent. For reference, last season Spartak finished in fourth place in the Russian championship.
This year's calculations show that the team has the potential to fight for higher positions, but the main probability hovers around the middle ranks.
