Burnley 4-0 Sheffield Wednesday

Current streaks

Recent form

Burnley

Burnley are enjoying a remarkable run of form, having gone an impressive 22 games without defeat and currently sitting in 3rd position in the Championship. The Clarets have been defensively impenetrable, keeping an outstanding eight consecutive clean sheets and not conceding a single goal in their last six matches. While their attacking output has been modest, with just four goals scored in these six games, their defensive solidity has been the cornerstone of their recent success. Burnley's last six fixtures have seen a mixture of wins and draws, with three victories and three stalemates, all of which have been low-scoring affairs with under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, as they've managed to secure points even when not at their free-scoring best, demonstrating a resilience that could prove crucial in their push for promotion.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Owls have been relatively consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in all but one of these games, whilst maintaining a positive goal difference. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets, both in away victories, highlighting their resilience on the road. Their goal-scoring average of 1.33 per game is promising, though they've been involved in some close encounters, with half of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to both score and concede regularly is reflected in the statistic that both teams have scored in 67% of these fixtures. Currently sitting in 9th position with 45 points from 33 games, Sheffield Wednesday are showing signs of being competitive in the Championship, though they'll need to improve their consistency to challenge for promotion.

Recent home/away form

Burnley

Burnley have been demonstrating impressive defensive solidity at home, with five clean sheets in their last six matches at Turf Moor. The Clarets have been particularly difficult to break down, conceding just one goal in this period, which translates to an impressive 0.17 goals conceded per game. While their attacking output has been somewhat modest, with 0.83 goals scored per game, Burnley have managed to secure three wins and three draws in their recent home fixtures. Notably, 83% of these matches have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend towards low-scoring encounters. The team's unbeaten run at home is a testament to their defensive prowess, although the three consecutive 0-0 draws midway through this sequence suggest they might be looking to find more attacking fluency in front of their home supporters.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Owls have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results without establishing a clear run of form. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets in this period, but have also conceded three goals on two occasions, against Preston and Leeds United. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, which suggests they've found it challenging to break down opposition defences away from home. Despite their inconsistent form, Sheffield Wednesday have shown resilience, bouncing back from defeats with wins in their last two away victories. The team's ability to grind out results on the road, as evidenced by their 1-0 win at Swansea, could be crucial in their pursuit of a higher league position.
