AI Predicts 2025/26 Premier, Championship Club Finishes

As the 2025/26 football season approaches, several teams are preparing for their campaigns in the Premier League and the Championship with notable expectations and predictions. Leeds United, Sunderland, and Burnley have all secured promotion to the Premier League but are predicted by AI models to struggle and possibly face relegation due to the historically tough transition for promoted clubs. Meanwhile, Newcastle United is actively strengthening their squad, including the recent £55 million signing of Anthony Elanga, to compete on multiple fronts such as the Premier League and Champions League. In the Championship, Portsmouth aims to build on a respectable mid-table finish after promotion last season, bolstered by new signings including John Swift and Adrian Segecic. The Championship winner odds highlight the unpredictable nature of the league, where clubs relegated from the Premier League often start as favorites but surprise outcomes remain common. AI predictions also emphasize the strength of top Premier League teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, who are expected to dominate the league once again.
