Recent home/away form

Burnley

Burnley's recent home form presents a mixed picture with some interesting trends. The team has struggled to secure victories, winning only one of their last six home games, which was a high-scoring 5-0 triumph against Cardiff City. This match stands out as particularly noteworthy due to its lopsided scoreline. Burnley has shown resilience in avoiding defeats, managing three draws in this period. However, they've also experienced a brief run of two consecutive losses against Premier League opposition. The team's defensive record at home has been inconsistent, conceding multiple goals in three of the six games, including four against Newcastle United. Despite this, Burnley has maintained a consistent goal-scoring record, finding the net in every home game during this stretch, contributing to both teams scoring in 83% of these matches.

Notably, their two most recent Championship matches were high-scoring affairs, both ending in 3-3 and 2-2 draws against Leeds United and Middlesbrough respectively. These results suggest Portsmouth's ability to compete offensively with stronger opponents away from home. The team's goal-scoring record is impressive, averaging 1.83 goals per game over the last six matches, while their defensive record remains a concern, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Despite being in 23rd position in the league, Portsmouth's away form demonstrates resilience and attacking prowess, particularly in competitive fixtures.
