📊 Form Guide

Manchester City

DWWWWW 🔥

Manchester City will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 7-0 Champions League triumph vs RB Leipzig.

In that match, Manchester City had 67% possession and 23 attempts on goal with 16 on target. For Manchester City, goals were scored by Erling Haaland (22', 24', 45', 53', 57'), İlkay Gündoğan (49') and Kevin De Bruyne (92'). At the other end, RB Leipzig got 4 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

Their latest results show that not much more can be done by the Manchester City defence. Manchester City have been mean at the back, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last six outings standing at 2.

Burnley

DWWDWW 📈

Burnley will go into this encounter following a 1-3 Championship win to defeat Hull City in their most recent game.

In that game, Burnley had 60% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Burnley was Nathan Tella (43', 59', 73'). Hull City had 14 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Ozan Tufan (93') scored for Hull City.

A succession of reliable showings from the Burnley defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. During the same period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 12. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, however.
