An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Leeds United and Burnley experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 16th place.

Insights:
  • Leeds United has the most conceded goals (30) in Premier League
  • Burnley have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Leeds United form and stats

Leeds United, who have the most conceded goals (30) in Premier League, have collected 8 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-2-3.

Leeds lost their last game at Manchester United (placed 3rd) after a 2-6 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Leeds won a home game hosting Newcastle United (5-2).

Leeds were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Illan Meslier had a busy but productive day in the Manchester United match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

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 Leeds United's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.

There will be little rest for Leeds after this match as they are travelling to West Bromwich Albion for a Premier League game in only two days.

The Leeds fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. Leeds United have conceded 13 from these games.

Burnley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).

Burnley had fun at their own home (Elland Road) last time out, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1. Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes scored. A 0-0 draw at Aston Villa's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Burnley playing away, we found seven games. Results were one away win, two draws and four home wins.

A new game in only two days for Burnley, the Premier League home match versus Sheffield United. Busy days.

The attacking power of Burnley when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Burnley have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Leeds, two draws and four wins for Burnley. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
