Exploratorium.edu suggests that the method to predict the eclipse is with the Saros Cycle --

According to NASA's "Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses" the Saros can predict the Annular Eclipse (ring eclipse) as well.

p. 40
Other organizations, such as the NOAA, also indicate that they are using the Saros Cycle for eclipse models --
https://sos.noaa.gov/catalog/datasets/solar-eclipse-paths-2010-2030/
"Eclipses are very predictable as they follow a cycle that takes place over 6,585 days. This cycle is known as the Saros cycle. Every 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours, a similar eclipse path arises as the Sun, Earth, and Moon are relatively in the same geometry, but shifted over 120 degrees in longitude on Earth. Thanks to the cycle, we know that the path the 2023 Annular Eclipse will follow (Saros 134) will repeat on October 25, 2041, just over China and Japan."
