Struggling Burnley will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Manchester City in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Burnley have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Manchester City has the fewest conceded goals (13) in Premier League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Burnley and Manchester City.
Burnley form and stats
Burnley have played 9 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Burnley are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Chelsea. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Aston Villa in a game that was won 3-2.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Manchester City to win. Let's see if Burnley are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: four games found revealing zero Burnley wins, zero draws and four defeats.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Brighton & Hove Albion are coming to town in three days.
Burnley have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Burnley have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Premier League, have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-3-1 from 9 games. Things are running smoothly for Manchester who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Tottenham Hotspur. Having won their last three away games Manchester City has no reason to fear anyone.
The Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 450 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Manchester are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Premier League against Sheffield United (placed 20th). Prior to that result Manchester won their away game at West Bromwich Albion. The scoreline was 5-0.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Manchester given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 19 matches with 17 wins as expected, one draw and one surprise home win. The favourites won 13 of these games by at least two goals.
The schedule is very tough for Manchester City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Liverpool is waiting in only four days.
Manchester City are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 15 times in 9 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Manchester City - Burnley 5-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Burnley zero wins, one draw and Manchester City nine victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
