Season ticket holders at London Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with West Ham United languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Burnley will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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 Ham and Burnley.

Relegation threatens Ham who should definitely be looking for some points here. Burnley are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Burnley form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

There were no winners in Burnley's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 vs Sheffield United (placed 8th). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Crystal Palace.

Burnley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of four matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Burnley manager S. Dyche as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Liverpool.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Burnley as they have only managed to score 15 times from 16 away games in the league. Burnley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Burnley - Ham 3-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (Ham wins - draws - Burnley wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
