In professional sports there may not be any challenge greater than that faced by a team that has just been promoted in the European soccer league system. While teams in lower-level leagues strive for promotion, sometimes it can take years to build the roster infrastructure required to not be immediately bounced back into relegation. Assessing the capabilities of newly promoted teams also presents a difficult challenge to our weekly swarm of EPL fans. They have to figure out which clubs look likely to stick, and which clubs may be headed right back down.
With that said, the swarm is obviously doing something right! Last week’s 8-2 prediction record set the swarm at a lofty 48-22 record for the entire EPL season. That nearly 70% accuracy rate in the group’s predictions comes in the only major team sport that our swarms try to forecast where three possible outcomes can occur, which only makes the performance to date even more extraordinary. Here’s how the Swarm sees the Saturday and Sunday matches this weekend playing out:
One newly promoted team in the Premiership this season is Cardiff City. The Bluebirds, who were last up in the Premier League in 2013, have found tough sledding thus far in 2018, with just two points to show for 7 matches played. Things get no easier this week for the Welsh club, as they face off against Tottenham at Wembley. The Swarm favors the Spurs heavily in this matchup.
The replay shows just how heavy the confidence for Spurs is in this swarm. The magnets are all aligned to the right of the hex and immediately bunch-up to take the puck in the upper very confident two-goals-plus prediction. The swarm then chose this match — up against Chelsea (who play at Southampton) and Arsenal (who have a Derby at Fulham) — for their pick of the week.
