Current streaks

Recent form

Burnley

Burnley's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Clarets struggling to find consistency in their Championship campaign. Despite sitting in a respectable 4th position, their last six matches have yielded just one win, alongside four draws and a single defeat. Notably, Burnley have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with all six of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's defensive solidity stands out, having kept four clean sheets in this period and conceding only 0.33 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been lacklustre, managing a mere three goals in six matches, averaging just 0.5 goals per game. This defensive resilience coupled with attacking struggles is further evidenced by the fact that both teams scored in only 17% of these fixtures. Burnley's ability to grind out draws has been crucial, but they'll need to find their scoring touch to maintain their promotion push.

Swansea

Swansea have shown a mixed form in their recent matches, with a noticeable upturn in their last two outings. The Swans have managed to secure back-to-back victories, including a narrow 1-0 win against Watford and a 2-1 away triumph over Oxford United, which has propelled them to 9th in the Championship table. Despite their recent success, Swansea's goal-scoring record has been rather modest, netting only three times in their last six matches. However, their defensive performance has been impressive, conceding just three goals and keeping three clean sheets during this period. A striking statistic is that 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with four of their last six matches decided by a single goal or ending in a draw.

Recent home/away form

Burnley

Burnley have shown impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Turf Moor. The Clarets have been particularly solid defensively, keeping four clean sheets and conceding only two goals in this period. Their most notable performance came against Cardiff City, where they secured a resounding 5-0 victory, demonstrating their attacking prowess. However, Burnley's recent home form has been characterised by a series of draws, with three of their last four matches ending in stalemates, including two consecutive 0-0 results. Despite this, their overall goal difference of +7 and their position of 4th in the league table highlight their strong performances. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with a mix of high-scoring affairs and tight defensive displays contributing to their impressive home record.

Swansea

Swansea's recent away form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Swans have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in these six away games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding five goals at an average of 0.83 per game. Notably, two-thirds of their away matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Swansea have managed to keep one clean sheet during this period, but have also failed to score in half of these matches. Their most recent away victory against Oxford United broke a three-game winless streak on the road, potentially signalling an upturn in their away fortunes.
