Recent form

Burnley

Burnley's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in a respectable 4th position in the Championship. Over their last six games, they've managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating a level of inconsistency. Notably, their goal-scoring has been somewhat lackluster, averaging just 0.67 goals per game, while their defense has been relatively solid, conceding 0.83 goals per game. The team has kept two clean sheets in this period, which is a positive sign. An interesting trend is the low-scoring nature of their matches, with 83% of their games seeing under 2.5 goals. This suggests that Burnley has been involved in tight, defensive battles rather than high-scoring affairs. Their most recent three games show a slight upturn in form, with two wins and a draw, potentially indicating an improvement as they look to solidify their position in the promotion race.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six games across all competitions. Their league position of 15th with 8 points from 7 games reflects this mixed performance. The team has shown resilience at home, winning their last two league matches at Home Park, including a high-scoring 3-2 victory against Sunderland. However, they've struggled on the road, failing to win any of their last three away games. Defensively, Plymouth has been vulnerable, conceding in every match and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Their goal difference of -1 and the fact that both teams have scored in 50% of these games suggest closely contested matches. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs despite their defensive struggles.

Recent home/away form

Burnley's recent home form presents a mixed picture with some interesting trends. The team has shown improvement in their last three home games, securing two wins and a draw in the Championship after a challenging end to their Premier League campaign. Notably, there was a particularly high-scoring game against Cardiff City, where Burnley dominated with a 5-0 victory, showcasing their offensive capabilities. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.83 goals per game over their last six matches. However, their defensive record has been somewhat inconsistent, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. The statistics also reveal that Burnley's home games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in 83% of the games, suggesting exciting encounters for spectators.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been notably poor, with the team struggling to find success on the road. They are currently on a three-game losing streak away from home, failing to score in their last two competitive away matches. The most concerning result was a heavy 4-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game against them. Their only away victory in this stretch came in a friendly against Milton Keynes Dons. Plymouth's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game in their last six matches, while their attacking output has been limited to just 0.5 goals per game. With only one clean sheet and a goal difference of -7, Plymouth Argyle's away performances suggest they are facing significant challenges when playing outside their home ground.
