For Harborough Town, this has been the first-ever venture into Step 2 of the non-league pyramid, marking an incredibly exciting time for the Leicestershire football club.

It started very well indeed, with the Bees unbeaten in their first four league fixtures and managing 1-0 and 4-2 victories over Morecambe and Darlington respectively.

There have also been wins over Marine and Southport, however five draws and five defeats along the way have seen Harborough drop back into the mix for a possible relegation.

Mitch Austin’s side, recently in the FA Cup First Round Proper for only the second time in the club’s history, are desperate to avoid the drop and to gain stability at this level.

But, given the fierce competition and the unpredictability of this level, staying up will be far from an easy feat. It’s also far from simple forecasting how things might go.

With that in mind, we’ve enlisted the help of a Supercomputer, with a test of 100,000 simulations after being fed information on every team – including results so far, injuries, potential spending, managerial rumours and more.

Brought to us by Tipman Tips, this 24-team table details the predicted points for each position. From 1st down to 24th, here’s where Harborough and their Step 2 rivals are expected to end up…
