Burnley vs Leeds United

Current streaks

Recent form

Burnley

Burnley's recent form has been impressive, with the Clarets unbeaten in their last 16 matches and currently sitting third in the Championship. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, having kept five clean sheets in their last six games and conceding just one goal during this period. The team's goal-scoring ability was on full display in their recent 5-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle, which stands out as a high-scoring encounter. While Burnley have been consistent in avoiding defeat, they've drawn three of their last six matches, indicating a tendency to share the spoils. Their ability to keep opponents at bay is further emphasised by the fact that both teams have scored in only 17% of their recent matches, with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. This solid defensive foundation, coupled with their knack for finding the net when needed, suggests Burnley are in good form as they push for promotion.

Leeds United

Leeds United are in formidable form, sitting atop the Championship table with an impressive 59 points from 28 games. The Whites are currently enjoying an 11-game unbeaten run, which includes a streak of three consecutive victories in their most recent matches. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in their last six games and a miserly 0.67 goals conceded per game over this period. Leeds have been equally effective in attack, netting 11 goals in their last six outings, including a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Hull City. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their recent 1-0 victory over Harrogate Town in the FA Cup, showcasing their competitive spirit across multiple competitions. With both their attack and defence firing on all cylinders, Leeds United appear to be in prime position to maintain their promotion push.

Recent home/away form

Burnley

Burnley have shown remarkable defensive solidity in their recent home fixtures, with four clean sheets in their last six games at Turf Moor. The Clarets have been particularly difficult to break down, conceding only two goals during this period, averaging a miserly 0.33 goals conceded per game. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat muted, with just five goals scored across these six matches. A notable trend is the prevalence of low-scoring encounters, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. Burnley's home form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four of their last six matches ending all square, including three consecutive 0-0 stalemates in their most recent outings. Despite this, the team remain unbeaten at home during this stretch, demonstrating their resilience and contributing to their strong third-place position in the Championship table.

Leeds United

Leeds United have shown impressive away form in their recent Championship outings, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches on the road. The Whites have demonstrated resilience, securing two wins, two draws, and suffering only one defeat in their last five away fixtures. Notably, their goal-scoring prowess has been on display, netting 11 goals in their previous six away games, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per match. The high-scoring thriller against Swansea, which ended in a 4-3 victory for Leeds, particularly stands out. While their defensive record has been somewhat mixed, conceding 8 goals in these 6 games, Leeds have managed to keep two clean sheets. Their ability to outscore opponents has been crucial, as evidenced by their positive goal difference and their current position at the top of the Championship table with 59 points from 28 games.
