“Opta’s Predicted Final 2024/25 Premier League Table. Shocking twist that will BLOW your mind
What’s your prediction for the final 2024/25 Premier League table after this weekend’s results?
Newcastle United had their hands full with the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, and celebrations followed when the final whistle blew.
But with a packed Premier League schedule this past weekend, many results had an impact on Newcastle’s hopes of securing a Champions League spot.
This marks the 29th round of matches, with 18 clubs having played 29 games, while Newcastle’s match against Crystal Palace has been postponed to Wednesday, April 16.
So, where do you think Newcastle United will end up by the season’s close?
Here’s how the Premier League table looks as of Tuesday, March 18, 2025:
When it comes to forecasting the final standings for the 2024/25 season, Opta has run some data simulations and predictions. According to their analysis, this is the most likely final Premier League table for the season:
For Newcastle, Opta’s prediction currently sees them finishing 5th with 64 points. The model gives Newcastle a 32% chance of securing a top-four finish and qualifying for the Champions League, while there’s a 22% chance of them landing a spot in the Europa League.
However, with the new format, it’s important to note that the top five teams will qualify for the Champions League, making Newcastle’s chances even better than the top-four prediction suggests.
It’s now “virtually impossible” for the Premier League not to secure one of the two additional Champions League spots, thanks to the collective results of European leagues this season.
Newcastle United’s recent Carabao Cup victory and the fact that teams like Chelsea and Bournemouth suffered defeats, along with a draw between Man City and Brighton, have greatly improved the outlook for a potential Champions League spot alongside the cup win!
Here’s the remaining schedule for Newcastle United:
- Wednesday, April 2 – Newcastle vs Brentford (7:45pm)
- Monday, April 7 – Leicester vs Newcastle (8:00pm, Sky Sports)
- Sunday, April 13 – Newcastle vs Manchester United (4:30pm, Sky Sports)
- Wednesday, April 16 – Newcastle vs Crystal Palace (7:30pm)
- Saturday, April 19 – Aston Villa vs Newcastle (5:30pm, Sky Sports)
- Saturday, April 26 – Newcastle vs Ipswich (3:00pm)
- Saturday, May 3 – Brighton vs Newcastle (TBC)
- Saturday, May 10 – Newcastle vs Chelsea (TBC)
- Sunday, May 18 – Arsenal vs Newcastle (TBC)
- Sunday, May 25 – Newcastle vs Everton (4:00pm)
