Leeds United will be hoping to sign off their home campaign in style when they welcome Brighton to Elland Road on Sunday, with a strong performance and three points firmly on the agenda.
Daniel Farke’s side showed against Tottenham on Monday night that they have no intention of easing off despite already securing Premier League survival.
Leeds battled hard for their point in north London, even with plenty of complaints from Spurs over the controversial penalty decision late in the game.
The Brighton clash will be Leeds’ final home fixture of the season, and the Premier League has also confirmed the officials for the game at Elland Road.
Supercomputer makes baffling Leeds vs Brighton prediction
Leeds showed on Monday night that they have not allowed Premier League survival to impact the intensity of their performances as they look to finish the season strong.
The players will be up for the last home game of the season and will look to leave the supporters with some good memories for the summer with a solid performance at Elland Road.
However, Opta’s prediction for the game has bafflingly made Brighton the favourites to clinch all three points in Yorkshire on Sunday.
The Seagulls have been given more than a 43 per cent chance of winning at Elland Road this weekend, while Leeds’ chances have been pegged at just a shade under 32 per cent.
There is roughly a 25 per cent chance that Leeds and Brighton will play out a draw on Sunday.
Brighton are seventh in the table and are fighting to qualify for European football. However, better teams have found it hard against Leeds at home this season.
The Whites hope to prove the supercomputer wrong
Brighton hammered Leeds 3-0 at the Amex earlier in the season. However, the Whites have come a long way since then and have emerged as one of the hardest sides to beat in the Premier League in the last six months.
Sunday will be their last home game of the season, and Leeds have an extra incentive to ensure that the home fans go back from the stadium with a smile on their face.
Daniel Farke will ensure that his players do not drop their intensity and look to win the last home game of the season.
Brighton may be the better team on paper, but Leeds at home for the final team this season will be hard to beat, no matter what Opta says.
Lets face it how much as the OPTA Super computer got right this season with Leeds
