Tottenham Hotspur’s survival hopes remain on a knife-edge, with fresh projections now painting a worrying picture following their latest result.
Tottenham Hotspur’s winless run in 2026 has been extended once more, leaving them with 15 games without a victory after their 2-2 draw with Brighton.
However, Spurs came close to securing their first win of the year against the Seagulls, leading 2-1 until stoppage time before a lapse in concentration at the back proved costly, allowing Brighton to snatch a late equaliser and leave a raucous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rather deflated.
New boss Roberto De Zerbi is still searching for his first win since taking charge of Spurs, but there are clear signs of improvement in his side’s performances, as they ended their two-game goal drought against the Seagulls.
Tottenham supercomputer prediction after Brighton and Hove Albion draw
With only a draw secured on Saturday, the battle for relegation remains intense for Spurs, who now risk being four points behind 17th place should Crystal Palace win on Monday.
Should such a gap open up, it becomes rather difficult for Tottenham to claw their way back with just five games left to play. Spurs will no doubt be looking elsewhere for favours as they continue their fight for survival.
Opta’s supercomputer has now predicted Tottenham’s chances of being relegated to the Championship this season, and it is far from what supporters of the Lilywhites will want to hear.
MORE SPURS STORIES
According to the supercomputer, Spurs remain the side with the highest odds of going down to the Championship despite their draw with Brighton.
De Zerbi’s men have been given a 54.22% chance of relegation, higher than their odds of staying in the Premier League.
Spurs must build momentum despite grim relegation odds
The odds are really against Spurs, but they must continue to fight until the end if they are to beat the drop this season.
The draw against Brighton, who came into the clash with Tottenham off the back of three consecutive victories, is one that could do Spurs’ confidence a lot of good, but they must build on that display if they are to increase their chance of survival.
Their relegation rivals are slowly giving themselves a better chance of avoiding relegation this term, and the supercomputer backs them to remain in the Premier League.
West Ham United have been handed a 36.36% chance of going down, Nottingham Forest a 9.05% chance, while Leeds United are more or less safe, with a 0.39% chance of relegation.
