Horrendous Daniel Farke streak suggests Leeds have no chance against Burnley
Leeds United are set to face Burnley on Saturday in a big early clash at Turf Moor.
With the international break now coming to an end, the Premier League is set to restart on the weekend.
There are plenty of big clashes scheduled, with Leeds’ match against Burnley a massive early fixture for both sides.
While Leeds are expected to lose at Turf Moor, Daniel Farke will be hoping to pick up a result and maintain the Peacocks’ points gap from the relegation zone.
However, multiple signs point to yet another defeat for the West Yorkshire side.
Daniel Farke has a terrible record against Burnley
Leeds have had a solid start to the season, there have still been plenty of negatives.
The Peacocks are without a win in their last two matches and are already out of the Carabao Cup thanks to an embarrassing defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
Now, there is an expectation from the Elland Road faithful that Leeds should get a result on Saturday despite Turf Moor being a tough place to visit.
Questions have already arisen over Farke’s future at Leeds, with the hierarchy backing the manager for the time being.
- Farke's future has been questioned since Leeds' promotion to the Premier League
- Reports late last season suggested that the Peacocks were considering sacking Farke
- However, so far, the German has done well in the Premier League
However, statistics now suggest that the German is set to guide the Peacocks to another terrible defeat on the weekend.
Throughout his career to date, Farke has faced Burnley six times, yet has only achieved one victory, with this coming in the FA Cup in 2020.
In the other five, he has lost three, with the other two matches ending in draws.
On top of this, his record against Scott Parker is nothing to shout about, winning one, while losing and drawing the other two games.
Therefore, these statistics suggest another defeat is on the cards for Leeds.
His record against both Burnley and Parker is horrendous, and given the Clarets’ form at home, a loss looks likely.
Leeds boosted by return of duo for Burnley
On a more positive note, Leeds should see multiple players back for Burnley.
Both Lucas Perri and Willy Gnonto are expected to be in contention to play against the Clarets, which could prove to make the difference.
While Dan James will likely remain on the sidelines, Farke will be pleased to have more options on Saturday.
Hopefully, this will transfer into a win come the weekend.
