A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted the final Championship table – and it is good news for Vincent Kompany.
The former Manchester City captain only took over at Turf Moor this season following Burnley’s relegation to the second tier.
But he looks well on course to send them flying back into the Premier League at the first attempt – with an exciting brand of quality football.
And the number-crunching machine BETSiE is convinced they will soar to the Championship title.
The Betting Expert supercomputer simulated the remainder of the Championship season a whopping 100,000 times, taking into account results so far this season, pre-season expectations and xG for and against for all 24 clubs.
And the results churned out will make happy reading for Clarets fans.
