Supercomputer makes surprising prediction about Champions League winning team

(Dan Tri) - Ahead of the two second leg semi-final matches of the Champions League, the supercomputer Opta has made a surprising prediction about the team that will be crowned champion this season.

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-final last week, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) caused a shock when they defeated Arsenal right at the Emirates Stadium.

Ousmane Dembele's early goal secured a 1-0 win for the Ligue 1 champions and opened up a great opportunity for Luis Enrique's side to book a place in this season's Champions League final, when the second leg of the semi-final between the two teams takes place at the Parc des Princes on May 8.

Predicting the chances of winning this season's Champions League from the Opta supercomputer.

This means PSG have now replaced Arsenal as the most promising candidate for this season's Champions League title, with the Opta supercomputer predicting that the Parisian team has a 41.6% chance of winning the title.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's chances of winning the title have dropped from 31.3% before the first leg to 11.2% now. Opta also predicts PSG to have a 45.4% chance of winning the second leg of the semi-final, while Arsenal have just 30% to secure a place in the final.

Meanwhile, according to Opta, Barçelona are now the second-best candidates for the Champions League title, with a 26.6% chance of lifting the trophy, while Inter Milan are third with 20.6% after a dramatic 3-3 draw in the first leg last week.

Opta also seems to underestimate Inter Milan's home advantage in the second leg of the semi-final, predicting Barcelona as the team with a higher chance of winning at 41.1%. Meanwhile, Inter are only predicted to win at 34%. The possibility of the second leg ending in a draw is 24.9%.

The match between Inter Milan and Barcelona will take place at 2am tomorrow morning (May 7).
