Opta’s Supercomputer has given its prediction on how likely Tottenham Hotspur are to return to winning ways against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Spurs have suffered two back-to-back defeats since the players returned from the international break.

However, trips to the Emirates and Parc des Princes are two of the toughest challenges that Thomas Frank’s men will face all season.

Despite falling to their first Champions League defeat of the season on Wednesday, Frank found plenty of positives in Tottenham’s performance against PSG.

How likely are Tottenham to beat Fulham in the Premier League?

The Lilywhites now have an easier test on paper up ahead next, with Marco Silva’s men set to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs find themselves sitting in 9th place in the Premier League table, but a win against the Cottagers could take them back up to fourth, providing other results go their way.

Opta’s algorithm has installed Tottenham as big favourites, giving the home side a 53.2 per cent chance of getting a win on Saturday.

The supercomputer has said a draw is the second most likely result at 24 per cent, while Fulham have been handed a 22.8 per cent chance of inflicting another home loss on the North London side.

Spurs desperately need a win in front of their home fans

Tottenham’s home form this season has been relegation-worthy, with the club winless in front of their own fans since the opening day of the season.

They thought they had secured that long-awaited home win against Man United three weeks ago, only to concede from a set-piece late on.

Spurs desperately need a good performance and a win on Saturday to arrest their slide. Another loss at home would be hard for Frank to recover from, as the atmosphere at the stadium could turn toxic.
