2 wins in the last 5 games looks a not so favorable picture for the Leicester team in addition to drawing the most recent at home, in their last 5 home games at Turf Moor there have been 3 wins for Burnley.ย

ย The pressure continues to mount on manager Brendan Rodgers, with Leicester winless in the league in 2022 though they have at least sought solace in the UEFA Europa Conference League after beating Randers on the road last week. That UECL victory in Denmark stopped a run of seven successive away defeats for the 'Foxes', moreover, their last five Premier League away wins ended with 3 or more goals.
Seven points from their last three Premier League games, including a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on the recent matchday, have catapulted Burnley back into the race for survival. With this meeting serving as the only Premier League game in midweek, the incentive is there for Sean Dyche's side, who know that avoiding defeat against Leicester City would see them finally drop out of the bottom of the table. The prospects of Burnley emerging from this clash look solid, considering that only Liverpool have emerged victorious from Turf Moor in their last eight Premier League home games. However, this matchup may not be so straightforward, with an interesting trend in the Leicester matchups, where the team that scored first hasn't won any of the last five matches (Burnley: W1, D2, L2), plus Burnley have also dropped in 50% of PL home games where they have scored first (W2, D1, L1).
Turf Moor is a football stadium in Burnley, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. It is the home of Burnley FC, who have played there since 1883.
