This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Burnley holding 16th place and Sheffield United lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Burnley have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- Sheffield United is in the worst form (0-1-5)
It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Sheffield United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Burnley form and stats
Burnley have collected 7 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-1-3.
Burnley lost their last game at Leeds United (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
This is expected to be a close game, with Burnley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Burnley as a small favourite), we find seven games. Burnley has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.
Burnley aren't scoring a lot here at Turf Moor in the league, with only 4 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Burnley have conceded 7 goals.
Sheffield United form and stats
There's been little loot from Sheffield United's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 7 away games in the Premier League. Sheffield United, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Sheffield, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Wolverhampton Wanderers game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Everton with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that, Sheffield travelled to Brighton & Hove Albion and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sheffield United playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Sheffield win, four draws and two defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Sheffield now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Crystal Palace is waiting in only four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sheffield as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. Sheffield have conceded 14 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Burnley four wins, four draws and Sheffield United two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
