Burnley vs Leeds United Prediction 27.01.2025 | Championship

• Competition: England - Championship
• Date: Monday, 27th, January 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Turf Moor (Burnley)

Burnley can move level on points with table leaders Leeds United when the two sides meet at Turf Moor in Championship action on Monday.

The attacking line of the Clarets finally came alive as they crushed Plymouth by netting five unanswered goals in just one half, marking the first time Parker's side scored more than two goals since their 5-0 thrashing of Cardiff on matchday two. Nevertheless, the three-point haul allowed Burnley to reach their 55th point from 28 matches, and with second-placed Sheffield United stumbling in Friday’s action, the Turf Moor side will have the chance to leap into an automatic promotion spot if they secure a successful result on Monday.

Standing in their way is Leeds United, who are currently playing the best football of the season in the English second tier, with their collection of 59 points propelling them to the top of the table, but they will need to put in much more work if they want to grace the Premier League next season. With their nearest title contender Sheffield United enduring a 0-3 drubbing at the hands of Hull City on Friday, the Whites are presented with a golden opportunity to establish a four-point gap over the runner-up side and take another step toward claiming the title and promotion.

Burnley vs Leeds United Betting Tips: 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)

This is an incredibly tough contest for the call-up, as both have been delivering outstanding performances for an extended period, so we believe that splitting the spoils would be the fairest outcome at this point. In fact, Burnley have turned their Turf Moor into a true impregnable fortress this season, being one of only two teams yet to lose on their home turf in the Championship, although seven out of 13 home matches have ended in a draw. The league leaders Leeds, however, have not enjoyed the best of times in their recent second-tier away trips, having been victorious in just three of their last 10 outings, making it likely we’ll see them struggle during their Monday visit. There’s no clear standout as both teams are in excellent form, yet given how tough it’s been to overcome the Clarets on their home ground, combined with their impenetrable defense that has leaked only four goals, we think the home side can keep Leeds from winning.
