Supercomputer makes Leeds United promotion prediction after Leicester and Ipswich results
Leeds United have more than a 50 percent chance of securing automatic
promotion to the Premier League, according to the latest Supercomputer predictions.
Stats gurus at Opta have ran their latest analysis of the promotion race,
comparing the results to those of just a week ago. The results show the
differences in the title race that just a week of fixtures can make.
According to the Opta Anlyst Supercomputer, Leeds are the second
favourites to secure automatic promotion at the end of the season with
a 56.6 percent chance of finishing in the top two. That chance has however
dropped from 71.6 percent in the last week after the draw at Huddersfield Town.
Leicester City still remain clear favourites with an 87.5 percent chance
of finishing in the top wo places, although that has also dropped from
95.4 percent last week following their shock defeat to QPR on Saturday.
Ipswich, who are currently second, are rated with a 47.6 percent chance, rising
from 38.5 percent after their win against Plymouth Argyle.
Despite Southampton’s late win against Birmingham City, a poor run of form
sees them with an 8.3 percent chance of securing a top-two finish. That is
however almost double the 4.5 percent chance they were rated with last week.
In terms of winning the Championship title, league leaders Leicester still remain
favourites with 64.5 percent. Leeds are rated with a 20.2 percent and Ipswich a
13.9 percent chance of overturning the Foxes’ advantage between now and the end of the season.
The current table sees Leicester on top with 78 points. Ipswich are three points
behind in second, while Leeds are a further two points behind the Tractor
Boys with Southampton three points behind the Whites.
All four teams are in midweek action in fixtures that could have a bearing at the
end of the campaign. Leicester travel to Sunderland, Ipswich host Bristol City,
Leeds host Stoke City while Southampton are at home against Preston on Wednesday night.
