Burnley form and stats

Burnley are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Turf Moor. 9 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 13 games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Burnley has won six games in a row. The Sheffield United match was the last time out without a victory.

The gifted forward Zaroury outperformed all teammates in that match and received a match rating of 8.84 out of 10. Zaroury scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Swansea City with a 2-1 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Burnley's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Goal fest? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 most recent league games with this club has contained at least three goals.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (29 in 13 games), Burnley's attacking play is working. Burnley are not conceding a lot of goals here at Turf Moor in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 13 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
