Super Computer makes Leeds United relegation prediction after Leicester City loss
Leeds United are narrowly predicted to avoid the drop despite losing 1-0 against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
In Jesse Marsch’s first game in charge, the Whites failed to turn their fortunes around and ended up coming away empty-handed.
However, despite the defeat, they’re expected to finish 17th come the end of the season.
According to FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer, it is neck and neck with Burnley.
Leeds were predicted to be 18th, but Burnley’s big loss against Chelsea has tipped the scale in the Whites’ favour.
Wins needed
Marsch needs his Leeds side to go on a decent run of results and pick up a few wins on the way.
There certainly were improvements in the Leicester game but that will count for nothing if there aren’t any points on the board.
It takes time for new managers to impart their style of play on clubs, but the American does not have too much of it.
Leeds are in a relegation battle and every game is like a cup final for them.
Their next three games are against Aston Villa, Norwich and Wolves and these are winnable matches for them.
Despite Villa and Wolves getting good results of late, they’ve proven that they could have bad days and Leeds should fancy their chances to beat them.
Hopefully, Burnley, Brentford and Everton do not further distance themselves from Leeds as there’s still a chance that either of the three could go down.
In other Leeds United news, a former Whites midfielder has joked that he’s open to a return to Elland Road.
