Leeds United have already achieved survival on paper amid latest Premier League reveal
Leeds United’s remaining home fixtures should give Daniel Farke more reason to be optimistic.
Ahead of the final 10 games of the campaign, Leeds United sit six points clear of the relegation zone despite having won just one of their last seven.
Up next for the Whites is a home clash with Sunderland, whose struggles have arrived on the road this season, with just two away wins all season.
Not only will the Elland Road factor have a big role to play in the result, but the Black Cats’ lack of away form will too, and that will be the same for each of the Whites’ remaining five home fixtures of the season.
Daniel Farke has no reason to fear relegation, stats show why
Leeds have picked up 22 of their 31 points this season at Elland Road, showcasing how strong they have been at home.
Added to that, they are also unbeaten in 22 late encounters at home, with their last defeat coming against Liverpool back in 2023.
But the main cause for optimism is the lack of away form from the teams who are still due to travel to Elland Road this season.
Leeds have encounters with Sunderland, Brentford, Wolves, Burnley and Brighton still to come, and based on the away form table, the average position of those teams combined is 16th.
Sunderland are the next opponents, and they have managed to pick up just 11 points on their travels this season, which has them 17th in the table for away form.
For comparison, the Whites sit 13th in the Premier League table for home form with six wins and four draws from 14 games, showcasing that safety is well and truly in their hands.
Where are Leeds predicted to finish this season?
There’s still a long way to go until Leeds will feel as though they’ve done their job, but we are approaching that stage very quickly.
Opta‘s supercomputer has predicted Leeds to pick up another 13 points from their last 10 games of the season, which would see them finish 15th on 44 points.
The Whites have a 2.05 per cent chance of relegation, which is minimal compared to West Ham’s 69.38 per cent chance.
If that points tally were to come true, it would see Leeds finish nine points above the relegation zone, which would be an incredible achievement for all involved, given the recent trend of promoted teams in the top flight.
