Odds: 11/10 @ 1xBet

In what already looks like a real relegation six-pointer this weekend, Burnley will welcome Leeds to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, although Burnley might have followed Leeds in making their respective Premier League return this season, it is no secret that the Clarets are pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate this time around. Heading into October’s fortnight interval with a 2-1 loss away at Aston Villa, Scott Parker’s side mark their return this weekend sat in the drop zone having collected just four points from their first seven Premier League appearances. Signing off September with a frantic 5-1 drumming against Manchester City, Saturday’s hosts have lost their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-3. Suffering their own EFL Cup exit at the hands of Championship outfit Cardiff on September 23rd, Burnley have also failed to win any of their last six outings (five defeats, one draw). Likewise, already shipping 15 Premier League goals so far this season, Parker’s leaky defence hold the second-worst defensive tally among England’s elite.

As for the visitors, while Leeds might have laid down a real marker on September 20th as they secured a thrilling 3-1 victory away at Wolves, Daniel Farke’s side have failed to find any real stability since making their Premier League return. Last seen heading into October’s fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat at home against Tottenham, Saturday’s guests have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Suffering a major EFL Cup upset away at Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday on August 26th as they suffered penalty shootout frustration at Hillsborough, the former Norwich boss will be more than aware that his squad faces a real relegation six-pointer here. Last seen outside of Yorkshire storming their way to that 3-1 win against Wolves, Farke’s men should be excited by an impressive record at Turf Moor. In fact, Leeds are unbeaten in their previous four trips to Burnley across all formats (two wins, two draws).
