Leeds United v Burnley Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Leeds will have been disappointed by their 1-0 defeat by Chelsea, but that FA Cup semi-final loss was their first in eight games and they have a golden opportunity to all but seal their Premier League survival on Friday.

Daniel Farke's Whites sit six points above the drop zone and know one win should be enough to keep their head above water and luckily, a home match against managerless Burnley is up next.

The already-relegated Clarets have endured a miserable campaign and they are unlikely to suddenly improve at Elland Road, where Leeds look set for a smooth-sailing victory.

Leeds United v Burnley Prediction

Best Bet: Leeds to win to nil @ 11/8

Burnley's relegation has felt inevitable for months, so it came as no surprise to see their fate sealed last week.

Occasionally, teams improve once that pressure has been lifted, but the Clarets' run of one win in 25 Premier League outings suggests they are not going to be one of those.

They have a group of players who had not been delivering for now former manager Scott Parker and the dejected, demotivated visitors look set for another drab showing at Elland Road.

In contrast, Leeds have really bought into Farke's ideas and there have been some great results during their unbeaten league run.

A 2-1 win at Manchester United and a 2-2 draw with in-form Bournemouth have to be the highlights and the strength of those performances should spell trouble for the Clarets.

One of Burnley's rare wins did come in the reverse fixture, but their 0.46 expected-goals figure suggests they were a tad lucky in that 2-0 victory.

Leeds should exact their revenge with ease and a fourth straight home clean sheet awaits.

Alternative Bet: Noah Okafor to score or assist @ 21/20

Summer signing Noah Okafor started life at Elland Road relatively quietly, but has hit form at just the right time, with his goals helping Leeds distance themselves from the relegation battle.

The Swiss forward has scored five goals in his last six Premier League appearances, three more than he managed in his first 21 outings in England's top-flight.

Okafor has also chipped in with an assist during that run and he is a likely candidate to hurt a Burnley defence which has conceded nine goals in their last three away games.

Leeds United v Burnley Bet Builder Tip

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin 1+ shot on target

• Zian Flemming 2+ shots

• Josh Laurent to be booked

  Pays 9/1

Okafor isn't the only dangerous attacker Leeds can call upon and Dominic Calvert-Lewin should play his part on Friday.

The England international has managed nine shots on target in his last six Premier League appearances and can test Martin Dubravka in the Clarets' goal.

At the other end, Zian Flemming is likely to get most of the rare chances Burnley do create.

The Dutch forward has fired off 28 shots across his last 11 appearances and isn't afraid to let fly from range, so should register a couple of efforts regardless of whether his side can create meaningful chances or not.

Leeds tend to win games by running the midfield and they should do exactly that on Friday.

The energy of Anton Stach and Ethan Ampadu will keep Burnley's midfielders busy and a seventh booking in 13 games awaits for combative Claret Josh Laurent.
