Who Will Finish Where? Predicting the Final Standings in the Premier League with Advanced Data

We have now reached the point in the 2024/25 Premier League Season where early season variance is starting to balance out and underlying data is becoming more predictive and useful when it comes to assessing how teams are performing. This is typically the case once we come out of the second international break of the season and we start to move towards the end of the calendar year. This is where resources and websites like Sportsmonks really come into their own as we can use their advanced and underlying data in order to get a more solid prediction on what the Premier League is going to look like come the end of the season. Sportsmonks have their own models that allow them to calculate xG in for each team, and each player within those teams, to some depth. This xG model can then be used to create a model to calculate expected points (xPoints) for each team in the league and xPoints is often a metric that can provide accurate insights into overall team performances. In this article we will use the xPoints model from Sportsmonks to look at three of the key storylines that we can expect to see as the Premier League enters the business end of the season. This data can often provide interesting context to the matches that we are watching every weekend.
