- 伯恩利在三场主场比赛中得了四分。
- 利兹队在三场比赛中输掉了两场。
- 克莱尔队在上个赛季的锦标赛中,从双方的两次交锋中获得了四分。
在Turf Moor推广双人碰撞
利兹联队和伯恩利队在上个赛季的锦标赛中获得了自动晋级的席位,双方的目标都是避免立即重返二线。
利兹队在七场比赛后以八分的成绩开局稳健,而克莱尔队在开场七场比赛中仅得到四分,他们发现很难适应英超联赛的生活。
伯恩利的防守是他们上赛季的主要优势,因为他们在38场锦标赛中只进了16球。然而,他们本赛季未能复制这一点,在短短七场联赛中就丢了15个球。
利兹队作为夺冠热门进入比赛,但主场优势给了伯恩利一个机会,他们本周末可能会有一个小的意外。
主场成绩对伯恩利至关重要
本赛季到目前为止,伯恩利的所有四分都来自本土,如果他们要有现实的机会避免下降,他们需要充分利用他们的比赛艺术草皮沼泽。
本赛季早些时候,克莱尔队在兰开夏郡击败了另一支晋级球队桑德兰队,他们可能会在对阵利兹联队的比赛中得到三分。
伯恩利的防守一直在挣扎,但他们在这方面的问题已经出现。他们在三场主场比赛中只进了两个球,他们在9月份的一场失利中成功地将冠军利物浦限制在了一个球。
利兹在最后一场客场比赛中以3比1战胜了狼队,但在比赛的平衡中,他们可能很幸运,因为狼队的x G为1.49,利兹为0.49,总共为约克郡队的6投16中。
上赛季,伯恩利在埃兰路以1比0获胜,在草皮沼泽以一场无聊的平局战胜了这两支球队,他们可以在周六的胜利中为生存机会注入一些活力。
目标可能短缺
伯恩利在上赛季与利兹联的两场比赛中都保持了零失球,他们可能需要在本周末被禁赛以获得最高分数。
斯科特·帕克的球队在同样多的英超比赛中只进了7个球,但一个球就足够了,伯恩利以1比0获胜是正确的得分预测,因为利兹联队在三场客场比赛中有两场没有进球。
主队可能没有首选前锋莱尔·福斯特,他在国际比赛中受伤,但杰顿·安东尼应该可以上场,尽管他在本月早些时候输给阿斯顿维拉的比赛中受到了打击。
安东尼是本赛季Clarets队的最佳射手,他的名字有四个英超联赛进球,当利兹队访问Turf Moor时,他看起来是任何时候努力的最佳选择。
- Burnley have four points from three home games.
- Leeds have lost two of their three trips.
- The Clarets picked up four points from two meetings between these sides in the Championship last season.
Promoted pair clash at Turf Moor
Leeds and Burnley claimed the automatic promotion spots in the Championship last season and the goal for both sides is avoiding an immediate return to the second tier.
Leeds have made a solid start with eight points on the board after seven games, while the Clarets have found the adjustment to life back in the Premier League tough with just four points from their opening seven fixtures.
Burnley’s defence was their main strength last season as they shipped just 16 goals in 38 Championship games. They haven’t been able to replicate that this term, however, with 15 goals conceded in just seven league outings.
Leeds come into the game as favourites but home advantage gives Burnley a chance, and they may be able to pull off a minor upset this weekend.
Home results key for Burnley
All four of Burnley’s points so far this season have come on home soil and if they are to stand a realistic chance of avoiding the drop they need to make the most of their games art Turf Moor.
The Clarets beat the other promoted side, Sunderland, in Lancashire earlier in the season and they may be able to follow that up with three points against Leeds.
Burnley’s defence has struggled but their issues in that regard have come on the road. They’ve only shipped two goals across their three home games, and they managed to limit champions Liverpool to just one goal in a defeat here in September.
Leeds won 3-1 at Wolves in their last road game but on the balance of play they were perhaps lucky as Wolves posted at xG of 1.49 to Leeds’ 0.49 and managed 16 shots in total to the the Yorkshire outfit’s six.
Burnley had the better of the meetings between these sides last season with a 1-0 win at Elland Road and a bore draw at Turf Moor, and they can breathe some life into their survival chances with a victory on Saturday.
Goals could be in short supply
Burnley managed clean sheets in both meetings with Leeds last season and they may need a shut-out to pick up maximum points this weekend.
Scott Parker’s side have only scored seven goals in as many Premier League games but one goal could be enough and a 1-0 win for Burnley is the correct score prediction, as Leeds have failed to score in two of their three away games.
The hosts may be without first choice striker Lyle Foster after he picked up an injury on international duty but Jaidon Anthony should be available despite taking a knock in the defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.
Anthony is the Clarets’ top scorer this season with four Premier League goals to his name and he looks the best option for an anytime effort when Leeds visit Turf Moor.
