On Saturday, September 14th, the fifth round of the English Championship will feature a match between Leeds and Burnley. The game is set to begin at 13:30 Central European Time, and Dailysports experts have prepared a forecast for this encounter.
Leeds
Last season, the team came very close to returning to the Premier League but lost to Southampton in the playoff final, extending their stay in the Championship for another year. Currently, they are considered one of the favorites to secure promotion this season. Although the start of the season has been unbeaten, it has not been as consistent as anticipated. In the first two rounds, the team failed to secure victories, drawing against Portsmouth and West Bromwich.
However, they managed to win their next two matches, defeating Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City, with both games ending 2-0. Consequently, Leeds has accumulated eight points from four games and is currently in fourth place in the league table.
Burnley
Burnley, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, finished 19th in the table with just 24 points. They, like Leeds, are favorites for a return to the top flight. The season began promisingly with victories over Luton and Cardiff. However, they then lost to Sunderland and drew with Blackburn.
With seven points from four games, Burnley is currently sixth in the table. Additionally, Burnley was defeated in the EFL Cup by Wolverhampton with a score of 0-2, resulting in three consecutive games without a win.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The last encounter between the two teams was in 2022, where Leeds emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline.
- Leeds United has won 18 of their last 24 home matches.
Leeds vs Burnley prediction
Both teams are favorites in the Championship, but neither has shown consistent form. However, in terms of current performance, Leeds is in a better situation with three games unbeaten, while Burnley is without a win in their last three. Playing at home, Leeds is the preferred choice, and a bet on their victory with odds of 1.73 is recommended.
