The Nottingham Forest prediction that will excite Leeds United and Derby County fans

The business end of the season is well and truly here and Nottingham Forest are still in the race for promotion.

Leeds United and West Brom have now strengthened their grip on the automatic promotion places with Albion, in second, now six points clear of Fulham in third.

Forest are ten points adrift and will require a stellar end to the campaign should they wish to be promoted to the Premier League without the lottery of the play-off places.

Ahead of the final run-in, FootballWebPages have used their Championship supercomputer the predict each and every result - and it is good news for Leeds and Derby County fans.

The computer uses in-game statistics from the previous 37 rounds of the season to calculate the probability of a Forest victory and determine the most likely result for each game.

And although it has only tipped Sabri Lamouchi's side to lose once between now and the end of the season, that defeat will be against the Rams, the supercomputer says.

Leeds United, in the meanwhile, will finally be granted their promotion wish, following West Brom into the Premier League.

Brentford, Fulham and, surprisingly, Millwall have been predicted to complete the play-off top four with Charlton, Luton and Barnsley all returning to League One.
