Super Computer makes Leeds United Premier League relegation prediction after Nottingham Forest win
Leeds United are safely predicted to avoid relegation as they picked up three crucial points against Nottingham Forest this week.
With Steve Cooper fighting for his job, Forest visited Elland Road on Tuesday, 4 April, and went back empty-handed after a 2-1 defeat.
That result saw Leeds climb up to 13th and FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer now sees them finishing in 14th place with 40 points.
Close to safety
Leeds have improved drastically under Javi Gracia who’s managing to get a tune out of the current crop of players.
The defence seems to be more organised and the squad seems to have an idea of what’s expected from them.
Under Jesse Marsch, towards the end, things appeared to be extremely chaotic and he was sacked – a decision that was made later than it should have.
However, in a short time, the Spaniard has done well and perhaps has even exceeded the expectations of most fans and they’ll certainly be delighted with what they’re seeing so far.
The football may not always be pretty but sometimes a pragmatic approach is the need of the day in order to pick up points.
Playing good football is not going to keep Leeds in the Premier League if it’s coming at the cost of them losing games they should be winning.
