If there was a crystal ball where you could look and find out who would be the champions in the big leagues at the end of the season would you do it? The CIES research institute tried to predict the future in a new study published (today).

The study relies on such and such statistics as a kick to the frame from an extension, attempts to enter the area, ball possession and dedication in the final stage of the team and opponent’s pitch. All of these helped the experts predict the number of points of the teams in the major leagues at the end of the season – and the findings are interesting.

Let’s start with Italy. According to the study, Inter, which only reached the top yesterday after a 1: 3 win over Lazio and is in the middle of a great season, will break the hegemony of Juventus and win the championship. The Narazzi, who will meet AC Milan in the next round for the derby and can take a significant step towards the goal, will not really lick honey on the way to the title, when according to the calculation we are expected to have a tense championship fight until the end. . According to the CIES, the one who will lock the first quartet will be Naples.

Equally interesting findings come from Spain. When it seems that nothing will stop Atletico Madrid and when many are already sure that the Colchoneros, who do not stop winning, can take the championship by a double-digit margin, this particular study predicts a close championship battle until the end, in which Barcelona did not really say the last word.

Although the study found that Atletico will indeed be a champion at the end of the season, it will do so after a great struggle until the final stages on the part of Barcelona, ​​who will finish just three points below it. Real will finish third, seven points below city rivals. By the way, another interesting statistic heralds a revolution in France, when according to the study Lyon will break the hegemony of Paris Saint-Germain and become champion for the first time in 13 years.

In England and Germany the study does not anticipate big surprises, with by all parameters those who will finish as champions at the end of the season being Manchester City and Bayern Munich respectively. The study predicts that despite its heavy crisis, Liverpool will finish third in the table, behind Manchester United, while Leicester will lock in the top-4.
