Leeds United will be playing Premier League football next season baring a miracle if the odds calculator and that ubiquitous supercomputer knows what they are talking about. Football is not played on spreadsheets and for certain no Leeds supporter will be thinking the job is done with so many games left to play and such a small margin between the Whites and the chasing pack.
While that may be the case, the bookies are predicting it’s pretty much as good as done with some astonishing odds and probabilities laid out.
According to Betfred, Leeds have an 83.3% chance of winning the Championship title this season. The probability of them finishing in the top two and winning automatic promotion is 95.2%, while the certainty they will go up one way or another is 98.5%, with the odds priced at 1/66 for Leeds to be a Premier League club next season.
It’s an incredible set of figures, with Leeds’ record this season, strength of squad, unbeaten run in the league and gap over the chasing pack combining to make the clear favourites. You can see the full breakdown of the odds below.
