Supercomputer predicts outcome of Burnley vs Leeds United clash
Leeds United are set to travel to Turf Moor on Saturday as they look to return to winning ways against Burnley.
The tie is one of the most important games of the Peacocks’ season to date, as they face a struggling Clarets side who will start the game in the relegation zone.
While Daniel Farke’s side have had a good start to their season, Leeds have still been tipped to be relegated after a run of poor results.
Therefore, their match against Burnley will be a chance to prove the doubters wrong and pull further away from the drop zone.
Burnley slight favourites against Leeds United
Coming up alongside Leeds, Burnley have long been predicted to go straight back down, despite giving the Peacocks a run for their money in the race for the Championship title last season.
Yet, this season, the Clarets have not got off to a bad start, and have picked up four points after seven matches, and are just one away from safety.
- Leeds go into the clash 15th in the Premier League table
- Burnley are four points off the Peacocks in 18th
- However, the Clarets remain the slight favourites for the tie
So far this campaign, they have made themselves tough to play against at Turf Moor, only losing once at home in the Premier League.
As a result, Opta on 12 October has made Burnley slight favourites for the clash, with a 41 per cent chance of picking up a win.
In comparison, Leeds sit at just a 32.3 per cent chance of getting three points, while the odds of a draw are 26.7 per cent.
Leeds’ head-to-head record against Burnley
Overall, Leeds have a great record against Burnley.
The Peacocks have won 34 meetings against the Clarets compared to their 19 victories.
However, more recently, Leeds have struggled with Burnley even winning 1-0 at Elland Road last season.
Now, Farke will be hoping that this run will come to an end on Saturday when the two Premier League sides clash.
