Leeds vs. Burnley Prediction, Preview for EPL Match – Friday, May 1
With the Premier League season winding down, both Leeds United (9-13-12) and Burnley (4-8-22) appear to be tethered to their current spots on the lower half of the table.
While Leeds has certainly been more competitive than many imagined this season, the North England club will surely be looking for ways to bolster the squad and ensure they remain in the top flight next season.
Unfortunately, Burnley’s run in the EPL has nearly concluded. The Lancashire-based club was unable to find any success at England’s highest level despite a nearly unbeaten season in the Championship just last year.
Burnley have only managed four wins this season, just one more than 20th-placed Wolves. It is worth noting that one of these four victories came against Leeds back in October.
Newly appointed interim manager Michael Jackson hopes to recreate the success his club had early on this season against this week’s opponent.
However, that may be easier said than done for a Burnley squad in the midst of a four-game skid. Leeds have steadily improved over the course of the EPL season, and have been unbeaten in the competition since the beginning of March.
Manager Daniel Farke’s club finished April winning two of the first three matches before recently drawing with Bournemouth.
Despite Burnley and Leeds achieving promotion to the EPL this season, Leeds has been the far superior club and has quickly adapted to the style of play necessary to remain afloat. One can expect Leeds to continue its great run of form in the top flight when they host a Burnley squad struggling on its last legs.
