Leeds can take a huge step toward securing their Premier League status tonight as Daniel Farke’s side host 19th-placed Burnley at Elland Road.Â
Unbeaten in their last five league matches, with two wins and three draws, Leeds come into the clash in strong form and are firm favourites at 1/3 to record their tenth victory of the season.
Burnley, by contrast, are struggling badly, having lost each of their last four games, and are priced at 15/2 to pull off an unlikely upset on the road.
Although their form has been poor, Burnley may yet hope for a new-manager bounce following Scott Parker’s departure earlier this week.Â
Whether that change in the dugout can spark an immediate turnaround remains to be seen.Â
Can Burnley get a new-manager bounce? The Clarets are 15/2 outsiders to upset Leeds tonight
It is also worth noting that the Clarets did get the better of Leeds in the reverse fixture earlier this season, as goals from Lesley Ugochukwu and Loum Tchaouna secured a 2-0 win at Turf Moor.Â
Finally, for those anticipating a tighter contest, a draw is available at 4/1.
In addition to the standard match odds, Sky Bet are also offering a Featured Price Boost and four Price Boosts for the game.Â
Firstly, the Featured Price Boost – which is priced at 1/1 – needs Leeds to score in the first half.Â
Meanwhile, the boosts include Dominic Calvert-Lewin to register 2+ shots on target at 6/4, Florentino Luis to be booked at 4/1, Noah Okafor to score first at 6/1, and Burnley’s goalkeeper to make 7+ saves at 17/2.
Calvert-Lewin has been in encouraging form recently, recording 12 shots on target across his last 10 appearances. Florentino, meanwhile, has picked up a booking in each of his last two starts and in four of his last five matches.
Elsewhere, Okafor has made a habit of early impact, scoring three first-half goals in his last three outings, while Martin Dubravka has made more saves than any other goalkeeper this season.
