Super Computer makes Leeds United relegation prediction after Everton draw v Tottenham Hotspur
Leeds United are predicted to finish in 14th place despite Everton sealing an unlikely draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday, 3 April.
The Whites lost their game at the weekend to Arsenal comprehensively by a 4-1 scoreline and with Toffees’ 1-1 draw, find themselves in the drop zone.
However, FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer still gives them a 79 per cent chance of survival despite what the league table says.
38 points ideal?
The Super Computer has predicted that 38 points are ideal to survive this season and that’s perhaps what Javi Gracia will be telling his Leeds players.
While 40 is the ideal number as no side goes down after reaching that milestone, 38 has become the more realistic number of late.
Everton have been very good at home, but away from away their form’s been wretched and they’ve been there for the taking.
Leeds have put in spirited performances at home as well as on the road and they look in good shape, especially given their upcoming fixtures.
They have Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace next and these are games that they very well should be winning and doing so with no trouble if they want to stay up.
They’ve had much better January windows than them and Gracia needs to help the squad realise their true capabilities.
