Swansea City’s hopes of a late promotion-winning run via the play-offs this season have been given a two per cent chance of becoming reality, according to expert FiveThirtyEight’s calculations.
The Swans are the Championship’s in-form team at the moment, having won six out of their last seven games, a run which started with consecutive wins over local rivals - the 2-0 victory against Bristol City and that win at Cardiff City Stadium.
Despite Saturday’s comprehensive victory over Norwich City continuing this run and making it 19 points from a possible 21, the data suggests that the likelihood of Matt Grimes making the 107-step journey up to the Royal Box at Wembley is pretty slim.
