📊 Form Guide

Burnley

DWDWLW

Burnley, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-0 Premier League victory over Sheffield United.

In that match, Burnley had 36% possession and 5 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Burnley was Ben Mee (32'). At the other end, Sheffield United had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that much respect should be given to the Burnley rearguard. The Clarets have been stingy, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 outings standing at 3. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, though.

MK Dons

WDDLWW

MK Dons come into this meeting following on from a 1-4 League One win as they beat Swindon Town in their most recent game.

For MK Dons, the scorers were Cameron Jerome (4', 40'), Daniel Harvie (28') and Regan Poole (77'). Jack Payne (37') was the scorer for Swindon Town.

A succession of outstanding performances from the MK Dons defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 14.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A combined total of 20 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 15 from The Clarets and 5 netted by The Dons. That’s an average goals per game of 3.33.

🔮 Prediction

In this game, Burnley can and should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
