Leeds vs Burnley bet builder tips

Leeds United to win

Leeds have a strong record against Burnley, winning six of their last ten meetings, and they come into this fixture full of confidence.

The home side are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches, with their last loss coming in early March. That run has been crucial in boosting their survival hopes, and a win here would go a long way towards confirming their top-flight status for next season.

With form and momentum on their side, our experts are backing Leeds to claim all three points at Elland Road.

Under 2.5 goals

Recent meetings between these two sides point towards a low-scoring affair.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of the last five clashes between Leeds and Burnley, with just three goals scored across their last three league meetings.

Burnley have also seen three of their last five matches finish with fewer than three goals, while both sides saw just two goals combined in their respective fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea last week.

All signs suggest a tight encounter, making under 2.5 goals a strong selection.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a reliable outlet for Leeds this season and will be eager to finish the campaign strongly.

The striker averages one shot on target per Premier League match and has scored 11 goals from 26 starts so far this season.

After failing to score in Leeds’ FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea last time out, Calvert-Lewin will be motivated to get back among the goals and could prove the difference here, potentially making a late push for England's 2026 World Cup squad.

Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card

Ethan Ampadu’s combative style in midfield makes him a strong candidate to go into the referee’s book.

He was booked in Leeds’ FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea and is averaging a yellow card once every four games of his Premier League appearances this season.

Ampadu also commits 1.3 fouls per game and gave away a foul in the reverse fixture against Burnley, highlighting his tendency to get involved physically.

Given the stakes and intensity of this matchup, a booking for Ampadu looks like it could be worth including in your Leeds vs Burnley bet builder.
