AI predicts final League One table with Birmingham City, Wrexham, Charlton and Stockport shocks
Blues have been busy in the transfer market this summer and by the admission of their head coach Chris Davies, they are by no means finished. Birmingham have explored foreign markets whilst also signing the best of British, with signings arriving from their league rivals and Scotland.
All seven of their signings have had transfer fees paid for with Willum Willumsson and Christoph Klarer the latest arrivals. Go Ahead Eagles said that the fee for Willumsson was record transfer fee received, and that’s at around €4m. The fee for Klarer wasn’t disclosed, but you can bet that Birmingham paid good money for a player that has just come off a season in the Bundesliga.
Birmingham’s spending means they are putting a target on their back with clubs viewing them as a big scalp. Teams might be up more for games when they’re up against Birmingham, who are arguably the biggest team in the division.
They can consider Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United as their rivals given they came down with them from the Championship. Bolton Wanderers, Barnsley and Peterborough United meanwhile competed in the play-offs last term, and then you’ve got teams like Blackpool and Charlton Athletic who like Birmingham, once dined at the top table of English football.
Only three promotion spots are available, and Birmingham in the eyes of many have to win automatic promotion. Can they do it? Safe Betting Sites have used AI (artificial intelligence), combining the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini and Bing AI, to formulate a predicted League One table for the 2024/25 season. Take this with a pinch of salt, but here is how the table is expected to look when the campaign comes to an end.
Stoke City’s pre-season friendly with Stockport County will now take place across two halves of 45 minutes at the request of the Hatters.
The encounter with the 23/24 League Two winners on Saturday, July 27 was initially scheduled to be played over two 60-minute halves.
Kick-off at Edgeley Park, in what will be the Potters’ fourth pre-season fixture, remains at 2pm.
Tickets for the match sold out on Monday, with more than 1,300 supporters set to make the trip to Greater Manchester.
