Burnley form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Burnley had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 4, drew 5 and lost 10.

Two away games in a row for Burnley, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Arsenal in the Premier League. Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Southampton.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Burnley played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 1 time.

It's early days yet, but Burnley has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels so far (1 game).
