Burnley vs Leeds Predictions

• Burnley are without a Premier League win at Turf Moor since January.
• The Clarets have lost their last five Premier League outings.
• Leeds have won four of their last six league away days.

Concern grows for Burnley fans

Many pre-season pundits voiced their concern over Burnley’s chances in the Premier League this season and after two games they have done little to ease any worry around Turf Moor.

They opened with defeat at home to Brighton – although in fairness they were quite unfortunate to lose that game – and followed it with a much more understandable loss at Anfield last weekend.

Sean Dyche will be hoping to get their first points on the board on Sunday, but that’s much easier said than done against a Leeds side that beat them both home and away last season.

Leeds get off the mark in midweek

Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites haven’t had the best start to the season but they recovered well from their 5-1 thrashing in the opening round to draw against Everton last weekend, and a comfortable 3-0 win over Crewe in midweek will have boosted their confidence ahead of this very winnable fixture.

Leeds’ last trip to Turf Moor saw Rodrigo score a brace in a 4-0 demolition of the Clarets and while I’m not expecting quite such a dominant performance I do think the visitors will get their first three-point haul on the board on Sunday.

Whites to win at Turf Moor

They have won four of their last six Premier League away games and Burnley have lost five league games on the trot. At Turf Moor they are without a league win since January, drawing five and losing six since then.

A Leeds win looks the best bet, but because they have only kept two clean sheets in their last 12 league away games and have already conceded seven times this season I do think the hosts can find the net. A 2-1 correct score prediction is my preference.

Burnley predicted lineup: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood

Leeds predicted lineup: Meslier; Ayling, Struijk, Cooper, Firpo; Raphinha, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Harrison; Bamford

• Both teams to score has been a winner in Leeds’ last three Premier League games
• Leeds’ last three Premier League matches have each produced over 2.5 goals
