Oxford United v Leeds United result predicted by supercomputer
Leeds United travel to face Oxford United on Good Friday, knowing just how important a win could be to their chances of promotion.
Leeds’ rollercoaster of a season is coming to an end, and providing things go smoothly, it looks as though they will be returning to the Premier League.
Just four games remain for the Whites, who have a five-point advantage over third-placed Sheffield United, showcasing just how close they are.
Oxford will provide a test for Daniel Farke’s side, with plenty left to play for on their own accord.
Leeds need to secure victory against Oxford
Even if Leeds lose, they will retain their place in the automatic promotion places, but if they want to avoid any more anxiety, a win will be essential at the Kassam Stadium.
Oxford will be up for a fight, given that they sit just six points above the drop zone, but according to the latest Opta supercomputer predictions, a Leeds win is forecasted.
| Championship table (top three) | Games played | Goal difference | Points |
| 1 Leeds | 42 | 53 | 88 |
| 2 Burnley | 42 | 44 | 88 |
| 3 Sheffield Utd | 42 | 24 | 83 |
The Whites have been awarded a 60 per cent chance of securing all three points, making them the clear favourites for the game, while a draw is the second most likely outcome, with a 20.7 per cent chance.
As for Oxford, they have just a 19.3 per cent chance of getting back to winning ways after their 2-1 defeat to Hull City last time out.
Premier League football is surely coming to Elland Road
If Leeds don’t get promoted now, it would not only be a massive failure, but also a huge surprise given the advantage they have ahead of the final run-in.
With that in mind, planning will have already started for the summer window at Leeds, in which they will need to recruit very, very smartly.
As for now, the main focus will be on securing their promotion, which, providing things go their way, could happen in the next week.
