Leeds v Burnley

Leeds vs Burnley Preview

Leeds United registered a second league win on the trot in the Championship just before the international break as the Yorkshire club produced a solid 2-0 home win against Hull City, while Burnley had to settle for a point in the Lancashire derby with Blackburn Rovers as honours were shared in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor, but this upcoming fixture against Leeds United is a top six clash at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime.

After having had to endure the heartbreak of losing out to Southampton in the Championship play-off final at the end of last season, Leeds United have increased their focus to making sure they get it right this time around and Daniel Farke's side have put together a four-match unbeaten sequence to date.

Points picked up in early season draws with Portsmouth and West Brom have been further boosted by picking up wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City both by 2-0 margins respectively but arguably their biggest test will be this upcoming visit from Burnley on Saturday.

Nevertheless, six wins out of their last 10 games on home soil at Elland Road will give Leeds United belief that they can get something from this encounter, especially as Leeds United have also scored in eight of these last 10 home games as well.

Burnley have returned to the English second tier following last season's disastrous campaign in the Premier League ended in relegation but The Clarets had seemingly come out of the blocks in impressive fashion at the start of this new Championship term as Burnley collected early back-to-back wins against Luton Town 4-1 and Cardiff City 5-0.

Confidence therefore would have been sky-high after these opening two games of the season but the Lancashire club have been pegged back in their subsequent two games in the Championship which have resulted in a 1-0 defeat away from home at Sunderland followed by the 1-1 local derby stalemate with Blackburn Rovers.

Interestingly, five of Burnley's last 10 games played in the Championship have resulted in both teams scoring while no fewer than seven of their last 10 outings on the road in all competitions (the majority of which were in the Premier League) have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

In addition, Burnley have notched in seven of their last 10 away games overall and the Clarets therefore stand a decent chance of scoring against Leeds United at Elland Road as well.

Leeds United v Burnley Verdict

Both Leeds United and Burnley find themselves in the top six places of the early Championship table and as three of the last five meetings between these two teams have also seen both teams to score, the goals market appeals in this one.
