The Scorecasting Economists and their Model have been busy. Based on 1,000 simulations of the Model to the end of the season, the below table shows the % chance of each English Football League Championship team finishing in positions 1-24.
At the top, Leeds have a 50% chance of automatic promotion, West Brom have a 38% chance, Brentford 31%, Forest 29%, Fulham 19%, and Preston 9%.
At the bottom, Luton have a 87% chance of relegation, Wigan have a 69% chance, Barnsley 62%, Charlton 26% and Stoke 19%. *[Excluding Derby County’s potential points reduction]
