Supercomputer predicts Leeds vs West Ham result as Nuno’s men head to Elland Road
West Ham head to Elland Road to face Leeds on Friday in their next Premier League match.
West Ham’s 2-0 defeat to Brentford at the London Stadium showcased how much they’ll need to improve against Leeds if they want to secure their first win under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Hammers fans are furious with David Sullivan, as over 20,000 supporters boycotted Monday night’s loss.
With morale and confidence at an all-time low, Nuno will have to pick his squad up and prepare them for a huge test.
Leeds predicted as favourites to beat West Ham
Jamie Carragher slammed West Ham’s performance versus Brentford, with the result leaving them 19th in the Premier League after eight matches.
According to Opta’s supercomputer, Leeds are expected to defeat the Hammers and pile more misery on the disheartened fans.
- Leeds have been given a 43.4 per cent chance of claiming the victory
- West Ham have a 29.8 per cent chance of securing a much-needed win
- A draw has been given a 26.8 per cent probability of occurring
Leeds are winless in three games and sit 16th in the table; therefore, a win on Friday would be massive for the course of West Ham’s season.
West Ham have been in the Premier League since 2012-13, yet they are under real threat of ending that streak as protests off the pitch signal the discontent around E20.
West Ham are now favourites to be relegated, yet a win against Leeds at Elland Road would spark the revival they desperately need under Nuno.
Should West Ham lose on Friday, it would spark real concerns amongst the fans about what the future could hold.
A loss to Leeds would spark a crisis at West Ham
The Leeds match is a huge match for the Hammers, and based on current evidence, they are far from equipped to secure all three points.
Their next run of matches after the Leeds clash includes home matches against Burnley and Newcastle, teams that are also in the bottom half of the table.
By the time the November international break comes around, a lot will be learned about the team’s resilience and mentality, and that starts with a convincing performance on Friday.
The bottom line is that a win is more or less necessary against Leeds, and anything less could result in ugly scenes at Elland Road.
