Burnley currently sit in the relegation zone with just 4 points from 7 games (W1, D1, L5). All their points came at home, including a sole victory against fellow promoted side Sunderland, which offers some glimmer of hope. But the harsh reality: they’re winless in six competitive games (D1, L5) this season and have managed only three home top-flight wins in their last 24 at Turf Moor (D5, L16).
In short: the pressure is rising.
Leeds United, meanwhile, are just three places above Burnley yet hold a four-point cushion. Their season has been marked by inconsistency: each result seems to differ from the last. That pattern might favour them here: they lost 2-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur before the international break, then beat bottom-three club Wolverhampton Wanderers away. A chance to record consecutive Premier League away wins for the first time since April 2022 is realistic.
This game very much has a “six-pointer” feel—not in the literal sense but in the psychological battle: two newly-promoted sides fighting to establish themselves. Burnley must win to avoid sliding closer to the drop; Leeds arrive with a chance to put daylight between themselves and the danger zone.
📚 Head-to-Head and Key Statistics
- In the Championship last season, Burnley edged the h2h: W1, D1.
- But in the Premier League, Leeds are unbeaten in this fixture: W3, D1.
- Burnley have conceded first in six league games this season (a league-high).
- Burnley haven’t scored more than once in any of their last eight league meetings with Leeds.
- Leeds are one of only two teams yet to score a Premier League goal before the half-hour mark this season.
- Leeds have kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 top-flight away games.
Together, the stats highlight:
- Burnley struggles to start well and defend leads.
- Leeds struggle to shut out opponents away.
- There is a recurring “low-scoring” trend when these two meet.
👤 Players and Availability To Watch
For Burnley, full-back / wing-assistant Quilindschy Hartman has created more chances than anyone else for the club this term (8). They will need his creativity to spark any attacking threat. However, injuries are biting: Hjalmar Ekdal missed the last league game, and first-choice striker Lyle Foster withdrew from international duty due to injury earlier in the week.
For Leeds, midfielder Anton Stach leads the team in chances created (14), and his only league goal so far was their away winner last time out. They’ll look to him to generate the spark. Meanwhile, winger Daniel James remains unavailable.
🎯 Prediction and Betting Angle
Given the context:
- Burnley’s defensive frailties and poor home form mean Leeds have a realistic chance to take something.
- But Leeds’ away clean-sheet record is dire, and Burnley at least have shown home points.
- Head-to-head and this season’s trends point to under 2.5 goals being a strong bet: Burnley haven’t scored more than once vs Leeds recently; Leeds often concede away.
- So expect a cautious affair, few goals, and a single decisive moment.
Predicted Scoreline: Burnley 0–1 Leeds or Burnley 1–1 Leeds
Best Bet Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Alternate Tip: Leeds to win by a single goal margin
