Leeds v Burnley Bet Builder 🧱 @ 4.26
Leeds were in encouraging form in the weeks leading up to their FA Cup disappointment, with a seven match unbeaten streak. They pulled off some notable victories in that stretch, including a 2-1 win against Man United at Old Trafford. That surge in form has seen them establish daylight over the bottom three, and they will fancy their chances against a Burnley side who have already had their relegation confirmed.
The Clarets have very little to play for this weekend, and their recent results reflect that. Scott Parker's side have won just once since October, and their away record this season has been dreadful. They have lost 12 of their 17 away matches this term - no side has suffered more defeats on their travels in the Premier League this season.
Leeds haven’t been much better on the road, but their performances at Elland Road has made up for that - they have only lost five of their 17 home games this season.
That includes a convincing 3.0 win against basement-dwellers Wolves in their last home outing, and this upcoming clash against Burnley promises to be a similar matchup. Despite going 2-0 after just 20 minutes against Rob Edwards’ men, Leeds kept pushing for goals - they racked up 17 shots and seven big chances worth 2.82 xG, and they managed five corners.
Leeds have been effective at generating corners at Elland Road throughout the season, and they are averaging 5.67 corners per game at home this campaign. Given the context of the fixture, they will have to play with a progressive mindset once again, so that corner figure could rise further.
Meanwhile, Burnley are averaging 5.97 corners conceded per game in the league this season, rising to 6.24 when playing away. They have been quite passive on their travels, so Leeds should be able to dominate.
Bashir Humphreys is averaging just 0.83 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season, which is nothing to write home about, but the nature of his infringements is what makes this market stand out. The 23-year-old has only committed 13 fouls this season for Burnley, but five of those have been worthy of a yellow card, which is an impressive rate. Humphreys tends to make cynical, last-ditch challenges when he finds himself out of position, which makes this card price stand out.
Humphreys will be given a test this weekend against a Leeds side who will have to be front-footed. His main matchup will be against Calvert-Lewin, who is a physical presence up top for Leeds, while Okafor is always looking to beat his marker, bringing a different dynamic to the Leeds front line. Humphreys should have plenty of defensive work to get through this weekend.
Zian Flemming has been one of Burnley's more active players when it comes to fouls, and his numbers when playing away are particularly notable. The Dutchman is averaging 2.49 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season, and that figure jumps to 3.31 when playing on the road, where he has landed this selection in each of his last six successive away appearances. He has been fortunate to escape with just one booking in that stretch, which shows how his fouls tend to be quite soft, rather than cynical.
Fleming draws an excellent matchup to keep improving those numbers against Leeds here, as they tend to be much better at controlling possession when playing at home. Leeds were fouled 17 times by Wolves in their last home outing, and Flemming recorded two infringements in the reverse fixture.
