Leeds United - Burnley betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.05, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Burnley would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

The top online bookmakers priced an away win in Burnley’s previous away match win at 9.50, marking it as borderline impossible. As such, no one was surprised when they fell behind in the first half and went on to lose the match to Manchester United 3:1.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Placed at 16th in the current Premier League standings, the hosts are struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. Winning the match on Sunday will be a great step towards improving the overall impression they left this season.

Earning the 0 points needed to get out of the relegation zone is paramount for The Clarets, but doing so will be quite the challenge. Although there’s close to half the season yet to be played, they’re facing very unfavourable odds this Sunday.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Leeds United and The Clarets ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

With Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Kalvin Phillips, Jamie Shackleton, Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo, Daniel James all out of the picture, The Peacocks’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
