Burnley form and stats

Burnley have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-5 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Burnley, who played 1-1 against Fulham. That match was also played at this venue (Turf Moor). Before that match, a win away at Crystal Palace.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Burnley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn zero and lost three.

Burnley aren't scoring a lot here at Turf Moor in the league, with only 10 goals from 12 games. Burnley's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

West Bromwich Albion form and stats

There's been little loot from West Bromwich Albion's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 12 away games in the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion, who have the most conceded goals (55) in Premier League, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Allardyce, the WBA manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

West Bromwich Albion delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Manchester United (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a Premier League game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tottenham Hotspur wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where WBA have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, one draw and six defeats.

The attacking power of WBA when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. In the opposite end, West Bromwich Albion have conceded 23 goals in their away games.
