Burnley come into the match having recorded a 2-0 victory at Fulham last weekend and that result means the relegation places have been decided for this season.
Burnley opened the scoring with 10 minutes remaining of the first half and added to their lead with just a minute remaining in the opening period.
It was a second away victory in succession for Burnley following their excellent 4-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, between those two fixtures Burnley were defeated 2-1 at home by West Ham United.
Burnley’s home form has been disappointing this season and they have failed to win any of their 8 most recent home Premier League games.
They may have lost only 3 of their last 9 on home soil Burnley have been struggling to win matches and there have been 5 draws, all of which came in a row between the 6th of February and 6th of March.
Trends show Burnley have managed to score no more than a single goal in each of their last 8 home Premier League games. Both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 league fixtures at Turf Moor.
Leeds United make the trip to Burnley having recorded a good 3-1 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. Leeds United opened the scoring early but were quickly pegged back by Spurs, only to retake the lead just before half-time.
The second half was close but Leeds made sure of the points with a third goal 6 minutes from the end of the game.
That result means Leeds United are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 Premier League fixtures.
There have been some very good wins and draws against the top teams including victory is over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City plus draws with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
However, away form shows Leeds United have won only two of their last 6 away Premier League matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 9 away league games.
Team news and Burnley will be without the injured duo of Robert Brady and Kevin Long. Otherwise, they should be at full strength for the game.
Leeds United travel without the injured trio of Liam Cooper, Helder Costa, and Adam Forshaw.
Forebet predicts that Leeds United will score under 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to victory over Burnley on Saturday night.
