Super Computer makes Leeds United relegation prediction after Everton defeat
Leeds United are still predicted to avoid the drop despite suffering a crushing 1-0 defeat against Everton on Saturday, 18 February.
FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer crunched the numbers after their defeat and also Southampton’s unlikely win against Chelsea.
They give Leeds a 63 per cent chance of staying up and predict them to finish in 17th place with 37 points – one more than the Toffees.
Highly unlikely
Given how Leeds played against one of the worst teams in the league, it’s highly unlikely that they will be able to avoid relegation.
Against an Everton side that have shipped in goals aplenty this season, the Whites failed to register a single shot on target.
This is after they signed four attacking players this season and even broke their transfer record on one – who is yet to start.
We do not see anything changing under Michael Skubala and unless a proper manager isn’t appointed, this side appears doomed for relegation.
There was nothing from the performance against Everton that would give any Leeds fan hope that things can be turned around.
A new manager is their last hope and if Andrea Radrizzani isn’t on the phone with Victor Orta or perhaps a new manager, then he’s accepting the harsh reality and doing nothing to avoid it.
