Both have an outside chance of scraping into the play-offs but Leeds United and Burnley will need to gain all three points when they meet at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime in the Championship. Leeds sit three points behind Nottingham Forest, who currently hold the final play-off spot, in ninth place whilst Burnley hover a place above and are only two points behind Forest, so only a win will keep them in with a feasible chance of making the top six.
However, the form guides couldn’t be more contrasting with Leeds in a rut, having not won in five games, whilst free-scoring Burnley have propelled up the table of late and are unbeaten in four. Nevertheless, a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth on Monday halted Burnley’s progress and Eddie Howe will be hoping his Clarets can return to winning ways.
Victor Chandler have Leeds as clear 6/5 favourites with Burnley available at a juicy 21/10 whilst the draw is best-priced 5/2. Having occupied the top six for most of this campaign Leeds have slowly capitulated in recent months and the 6/5 about the Yorkshire outfit is far too short and offers no value. So, at the odds, the 21/10 about an in-form Burnley could be the way to go and with ten goals in their last four games you have to fancy they will give the Leeds defence a tough contest.
Chris Eagles has been the catalyst of late notching four goals in his last four games and the former Manchester United winger could well be the thorn in Leeds’ side and at 19/2 with VCBet is overpriced to score first. Luciano Becchio heads the market at 19/4 and he is a danger to add to his tally of 19 league goals, whilst the diminutive Max Gradel could be a bit of value at 6/1. Jay Rodriguez has really stepped up to the mark this campaign and the England Under 21 international is another to be wary of at 6/1, but Eagles definitely offers the best value at 19/2.
Leeds have failed to score in five of their last six games which will be a massive worry for boss Simon Grayson, but with nothing to lose they will surely go for broke as they embark on one final push to the play-offs. That is the reason Victor Chandler have set a precedent in the correct score market by offering a goalless draw at a monstrous 14/1.
Even though that is very generous the one that stands out over all other prices is the 9/1 about a Burnley 2-1 victory and the Clarets can continue on their quest for the play-offs.
