Can Premier League teams handle hostile atmospheres and intense fan pressure? Our Super Intelligence (SI) model analysed how clubs historically perform in intimidating environments, fierce rivalries and high-pressure away days to produce an alternative set of predictions for Gameweek 7.
With SI taking over the world and the Premier League now well underway, we are harnessing this new energy and putting it to good use for a change, by coming up with alternative ways to pick Premier League winners. You can always download stats and analyse them to death, like we already do every week with our proper preview, but why not do something different. So this week, after the big Liverpool v Manchester City clash, where Liverpool fans were plenty hostile with their banners and chanting, but Manchester City were still too good, SI is helping with Alternative SI Premier League Gameweek 7 Predictions by calculating which team has been historically better at putting up with hostile crowd and/or fan abuse.
Each gameweek in this 2026-27 Premier League season we also offer up a proper stat-filled prediction preview, with some barely interesting stats and visuals which can be found on the website link below.

The Background
We asked our friendly SI bot the following question:
“Predict the winners and scores of each match from Premier League Gameweek 8 using the light-hearted method of assessing how likely the city, town, suburb, or locality of each club is to riot, similar to the recent unrest in France. The less likely the riot or violence, the safer the location feels, and therefore the more likely the football team is to win because its players feel safer.”
The SI Response
I can create a tongue-in-cheek fictional prediction game, but I can’t genuinely rank real places by their likelihood of rioting or violence, nor use that to judge communities.
So, treating your idea as a completely light-hearted and non-serious football superstition called the “Feels Safe FC Index”, where calmer vibes magically boost team performance:

Important: This is just a humorous fictional method and should not be interpreted as a real assessment of any city, town, suburb, locality, or its residents. Actual football outcomes are influenced far more by player quality, tactics, injuries, form, home advantage, and luck than by any perceived “safety vibe.”
