Leeds United<\/a> host Burnley on Friday evening as Elland Road stages a meeting between former promotion rivals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having battled side by side near the summit of the Championship last season, the two clubs have endured starkly contrasting Premier League campaigns.<\/p>\n

Leeds, six points clear of the relegation zone, are now within touching distance of securing their Premier League status under Daniel Farke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burnley, by contrast, saw their fate confirmed last Wednesday, when a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City sealed an immediate return to the second tier.<\/p>\n

With Leeds aiming to move a significant step closer to safety, Opta\u2019s<\/a> supercomputer has delivered its verdict on Friday night\u2019s contest in West Yorkshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds take mantle of firm favourites as Burnley visit Elland Road <\/p>\n

Over the course of the campaign, Farke\u2019s side have gone from strength to strength, with the Whites now firmly on course to secure their Premier League place.<\/p>\n

Burnley, by contrast, have gone backwards. Three of their four wins came before the end of October, and they have managed just 10 points since.<\/p>\n\nLeeds vs Burnley prediction<\/td>\nLikelihood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLeeds win<\/td>\n62.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDraw <\/td>\n19.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nBurnley win<\/td>\n17.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How Opta\u2019s<\/a> supercomputer predicts Leeds vs Burnley to pan out<\/p>\n

Yet despite Burnley\u2019s 2-0 victory over Leeds at Turf Moor in the reverse fixture, Opta\u2019s<\/a> supercomputer still makes the hosts firm favourites.<\/p>\n

According to its latest forecast, Leeds have been given a 62.4 per cent chance of claiming all three points, while the likelihood of a draw is rated higher than that of a Burnley win.<\/p>\n

With survival now in touching distance, Farke\u2019s side must seize the opportunity on home soil.<\/p>\n

Leeds must take welcome Elland Road opportunity<\/p>\n

Since returning from the international break, Leeds have enjoyed an impressive run of form in the league, recording victories over Manchester United and Wolves, as well as a draw against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

It is the win over Wolves, however, that Farke\u2019s side will look back on<\/a> most closely as they prepare to welcome Burnley.<\/p>\n

Like the Clarets, Wolves recently had their relegation to the Championship confirmed after a similarly dismal campaign.<\/p>\n

On that afternoon at Elland Road, Leeds showed no mercy, cruising to a 3-0 victory after striking twice in quick succession during the first half.<\/p>\n

Now, with Burnley the next visitors, the Whites must produce a repeat performance as they look to edge ever closer to safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Imago Tue 28 April 2026 16:10, UK Leeds United host Burnley on Friday evening as Elland Road…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":924395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,1385,393,4884,1860,14937,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-924394","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-daniel-farke","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-scott-parker","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116483203039388409","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=924394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/924394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/924395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=924394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=924394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=924394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
