Leeds United vs Crystal Palace clash in Premier League predicted by supercomputer
Leeds United have a great opportunity to continue their momentum when Crystal Palace visit Elland Road this weekend.
The Whites have made a superb start to the campaign, having won two and drawn two of their first four matches.
Leeds thumped Newcastle United 4-1 on Monday night to move up to third in the Premier League.
That has supporters dreaming of a possible challenge for European football.
Leeds have a winnable fixture up next on Sunday afternoon, too, as Palace make the trip to West Yorkshire.
The Eagles have won one and lost three of their first four matches under Pierre Sage, though they did beat Lech Poznan 4-0 in the Europa League in midweek.
What is supercomputer predicting in Leeds United vs Crystal Palace?
Daniel Farke has some important selection calls to make against Palace.
The German will have six days to prepare for the game, which is always a welcome bonus, compared to just three days for Palace.
Leeds have collected five points more than their next opponents so far, which explains why the Opta supercomputer makes them such strong favourites this weekend.
United are given a 55.6 per cent chance of collecting three more points on home soil, while Palace are given a 21.5 per cent chance of winning.
The draw is given a 23 per cent likelihood of happening at Elland Road on Sunday.
But should Leeds fans be a little more cautions based on recent results versus Palace?
What is Leeds' recent record vs Crystal Palace?
The headline is that Leeds have won just one of their past five games against Palace, each coming in the Premier League.
That solitary win did come in the most recent encounter at Elland Road last December, with the Whites prevailing 4-1 just before Christmas.
There was a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park more recently, with Palace winning two, drawing two and losing just one of those past five encounters.
Based on both sides' starts to the league campaign, however, you would back Leeds to get the job done this weekend.
