Opta’s bold prediction ahead of the 25/26 Premier League season is sure to leave Tottenham fans concerned ahead of the new campaign.
Every side in the English top division aims for a strong Premier League campaign, one where they are challenging towards the top end of the table and competing for European places.
Last season, Tottenham Hotspur endured a miserable league campaign, finishing in a disappointing 17th place after losing 22 matches and ending with a negative goal difference.
That dismal run ultimately brought the Ange Postecoglou era to a close, despite the Australian delivering the club’s long-awaited silverware with a Europa League triumph.
Opta forecasts Tottenham to struggle under Thomas Frank
According to Opta’s supercomputer model, which has simulated the Premier League campaign multiple times, Spurs are forecasted to have yet another poor Premier League season.
The Lilywhites, who are set to begin a new chapter under former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, are predicted to finish in the bottom half of the league, in 14th place, collecting an estimated 47.92 points.
Frank, of course, will be eager to guide Tottenham to a strong showing in the top flight, yet Opta’s latest prediction suggests a far less encouraging outcome.

Poor projections could pile pressure on Frank
A modest improvement from 17th to 14th would scarcely meet Tottenham’s standards, particularly when measured against the club’s lofty ambitions and stated objectives.
Daniel Levy wants Tottenham to win the Premier League and the Champions League. Should Frank end the campaign in 14th place, such an outcome would inevitably prompt intense scrutiny.
