Promotion-chasing Burnley are favourires to triumph over relegation haunted Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Wednesday night.

Burnley have the best away record in the league having won 8 and drawn 4 of their 14 matches away from Turf Moor, yielding 28 points and a +11 goal difference.

Argyle are stranded at the foot of the Championship table, 5 points behind 23rd placed Luton going into the midweek round of fixtures.

There is no underperformance in Plymouth’s data with their expected points matching their actual tally.

Despite their promotion-chasing form, Burnley rarely win matches by a wide margin. Their Championship games this season average just 1.40 goals per game.

Burnley have won 14/27 Championship matches this season but only 6 times by more than a 1-goal margin.

Only 2 of Burnley’s Championship matches this season have had over 3.5 goals and they were the first 2 matches of the campaign.

Josh Brownhill has been operating predominantly as a #10 this season which has seen a big spike in his goal contributions.

Brownhill is tied 10th in the division for combined goals and assists with 9G 1A.

Brownhill hasn’t contributed to a goal in his last 4 matches but has a great opportunity to regain his form against a Plymouth Argyle side that has conceded 55 goals this season – 10 more than anyone else in the league.

No team have had fewer corners in the Championship this season than Plymouth Argyle who have forced just 93 at an average of 3.44 per game. 

Plymouth Argyle have only had more than 5 corners in 6/27 Championship matches this season. 

Burnley have faced 3.81 corners per game in the Championship this season. They have faced 5 or more corners in a game in just 7/27 matches 

Plymouth Argyle are a team that have been reliant on individual moments of skill rather than being able to create repeatable types of goalscoring chances. New manager Miron Muslic hasn’t had training ground time to change this as yet.

Rami Al Hajj has become Plymouth Argyle’s most threatening player in recent weeks and scored in their penultimate match versus Oxford.

Since December Al Hajj’s shot numbers read 0-3-0-2-1-3-0-4-1.

High-energy attacking midfielder has featured twice for Plymouth Argyle since signing at the start of the January transfer window – Baidoo has committed 2 fouls in each match.

Anthony is averaging 2.4 shots per 90. He has had a shot on target in 50% of the Championship matches he has featured in this season.

Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill has been The Clarets most goal threatening player this season.

Brownhill is averaging 1.8 shots per 90 in the Championship with an impressive 19.6% shot conversion rate.

Brownhill’s shot numbers in the Championship this season read 1-2-0-4-0-3-1-2-1-3-1-1-1-0-2-2-3-3-2-2-1-2-3-2-0-0 with a 43% shot on target ratio.
