1st Prediction For Burnley FC vs Leeds United: Burnley FC to win 43/20

Monday’s blockbuster clash sees two equally excellent teams face each other, yet the bookmakers offer much better odds on predicting Burnley FC to win. The Clarets’ defence this season has been nothing short of outstanding. Scot Parker’s men have conceded just nine times in their 28 league fixtures, half as many goals as the second-best defence heading into the weekend, Sheffield United. Young goalkeeper James Trafford has been a major part of this defensive success. The 22-year-old has prevented 8.5 goals this season, according to the xG model, and he recently saved two late penalties to earn his team a point against Sunderland. Additionally, Leeds have not been at their attacking best on the road this season as just 18 of their 53 league goals have come away from Elland Road. They have also conceded 12 of their 19 league goals whilst on their travels. This will give the Burnley players hope that they can breach the Leeds defence and limit the number of chances they create.

2nd Prediction For Burnley FC vs Leeds United: Both teams to score: yes 103/100

As the game is likely to be incredibly hard-fought, those looking for a safer prediction should consider predicting both teams to score. As previously mentioned, Leeds are the highest scorers in the Championship, They also average the most shots on target per game and they have created by far the most big chances in the second tier. This means that they should have at least one good chance to breach Burnley’s defence, even if it is generally considered impenetrable. As well as this, Burnley have found their goalscoring touch recently. The Clarets have scored nine goals in their last four games in all competitions, including five goals in the first half in their last game against Plymouth Argyle.

3rd Prediction For Burnley FC vs Leeds United: Zian Flemming to score at any time 16/5

Part of the reason for Burnley’s good form in front of goal recently has been the upturn in form of Zian Flemming. The 26-year-old moved to Turf Moor in the summer after spending two seasons at Millwall but he had only scored one goal by mid-December. Since the 15th of December, however, Flemming’s form has massively picked up. He has scored seven goals in the last five weeks, including five goals in his last four games. The Dutchman now has six league goals this campaign from just 3.04 xG which shows how clinical he is. This clinical touch combined with his ability to drop into deeper spaces should mean that Flemming can disrupt the Leeds backline and get himself into goalscoring positions. He also averages more shots on target per 90 than 87% of players in the Championship, something which could provide useful against Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier who has made a couple of high-profile mistakes recently.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Leeds come into the weekend sitting at the top of the Championship table whilst their hosts, Burnley, sit just three points behind them in third place. Neither side has lost in their last five games, both in the league and in all competitions, but Leeds have been on a slightly better run in recent weeks as they have won their last three encounters without conceding a goal. The game sees the top scorers in the division take on the best defence in the league which should make for a tight clash. It was Scott Parker’s team who emerged victorious at Elland Road earlier in the season as an 18th-minute goal from Luca Koleosho was enough to see the Clarets home as Bashir Humphrys was sent off in injury time. But, Daniel Farke will be happy to know that Leeds’ record against Burnley is good on the whole. The Whites have won eight of the last 16 matches between the two teams with Burnley winning five times and three games ending in a draw.
