Sheffield Utd vs. Burnley – Prediction (Premier League – 02.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

This will be the first ever Premier League meeting between Sheffield United and Burnley, with the sides last facing each other in the top-flight in February 1976 (Burnley winning 3-1 at Turf Moor).

Sheffield United’s Premier League (PL) fixtures have been largely cagey affairs, with each of their last six seeing under 2.5 match goals (W2, D2, L2 – 1.17 total goals per match average). Partly as a result, Sheffield United are the joint-lowest home scorers in the PL, netting just three goals here, compared to six when playing away. Though still yet to play a full 90 minutes, Lys Mousset has netted Sheffield United’s only goal in each of their last two matches. In fact, Bramall Lane ranks above only St. James’ Park in terms of goals scored, with just one of five games here producing over 2.5 goals (1.4 goals per match average). Notably, four of the Blades’ home league games finished with a 1-0 scoreline (W2, L2), three after a goalless first half.

Sheffield United have won just one of five league games when drawing at half-time this season (W1, D2, L2). Sheffield United have averaged exactly two cards per PL match on average this term (19 yellow, one red). Burnley have conceded at least twice in three of their last four matches.

Interestingly, Burnley have played more PL matches (1992-present) in Yorkshire without losing than any other side (W3, D2) with their last such loss coming against Leeds back in 1976. However, they remain one of five sides yet to win away this PL campaign (D3, L2). Both of Jay Rodriguez’s PL goals this term arrived after half-time, including the equalising goal vs Aston Villa in Burnley’s last away game. All five of Burnley’s away league matches have seen both teams score, with the ‘Clarets’ conceding the opener on three occasions. A credit to their character, Burnley have come from behind to draw on each of the last two occasions that they conceded an away opener.
