Leeds United hosts Burnley in round 21 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, January 2nd at Elland Road (Leeds)
On December 18, Leeds played its last match in the English Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa's charges lost 1-4 to Arsenal at Elland Road. That defeat was the third in a row for the Whites. It is noteworthy that they conceded 14 goals in those three matches. The current season is quite difficult for Leeds. The Peacocks earned only 16 points in 18 matches. At the moment, this is enough to be on the 16th line. The gap from the relegation zone is only five points. It is noteworthy that Leeds United was in the top ten after the first round of the previous championship. Home stands do not help the team this season. The Whites scored only ten points in nine home games. All the results at the native stadium look like this: two victories, four draws, and three defeats.

In the previous round, Burnley lost Manchester United at Old Trafford (3-1). Let’s note that Sean Dyche's charges played only 16 matches in the current Premier League, and they are in 18th place in the standings with only 11 points scored. The Clarets are two points behind the saving 17th line. However, Burnley has serious problems with production. The club scored only 15 goals in 16 matches. At the same time, the representative of the relegation zone conceded a lot (21 goals). It is noteworthy that even Arsenal, which is in the Champions League zone, conceded 23 goals. Burnley has not gained a single away victory in the current season (four draws and five defeats).
In the first round, Leeds and Burnley failed to determine the winner. The game ended in a 1-1 draw. In the last Premier League season, Leeds was stronger than the Clarets at home (1-0). Now Leeds will play after a long pause. In addition, the team cannot count on several important players. Burnley will be in a bad mood after the match against Manchester United. Moreover, Sean Dyche's charges have serious problems with away results. Both Leeds and Burnley are not performing well in the current season. Based on this, I fully admit that they won’t please the fans with an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
