Leeds United to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Betfair<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBurnley\u2019s return to the Premier League has been anything but smooth, with Scott Parker\u2019s men struggling to find their footing at the top level. Since their lone victory back in August, the Clarets have endured a frustrating run of form, failing to win any of their last five matches and losing four in that stretch. Defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in front of goal have been at the heart of their troubles, as Burnley continue to search for the balance and belief that defined their Championship-winning campaign.\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: Burnley 1-2 Leeds<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(11.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nLeeds have shown a tendency to edge tight contests this season, and their attacking threat could be enough to nick a narrow win at Turf Moor. Burnley, despite being resilient at times, have struggled to keep clean sheets and often concede the crucial second goal. A 2-1 victory for the visitors looks a realistic outcome, with the Clarets likely to hit the net but ultimately falling short against a more clinical Leeds side<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
