Will Burnley Keep Another Clean Sheet?

Burnley are three points away from second and five points behind league leaders Leeds United. The Lancashire club are hoping for an instant return to the Premier League, and three points on Tuesday will move them back into second.

Burnley have won half of their 30 league matches, drawing 13 and losing two of the other 15. They have shipped just nine, although five of their last seven in the league have ended goalless.

Survival was Oxford’s main aim this season, and United are ten points clear of the drop zone after an upswing in fortunes under Gary Rowett. The Yellow are unbeaten in nine Championship fixtures since their new boss took over, winning five and drawing four.

Oxford have been one of the form sides in the division since Christmas, and last season’s EFL League One play-off winners are capable of picking up a positive result at Turf Moor.

Recent Burnley vs Oxford United Head-to-Head Meetings

The September meeting at the Kassam Stadium was the first game between the pair since 2000. Burnley had more possession and more shots on goal, but Oxford held the Clarets to a goalless draw.

The last meeting at Turf Moor took place last century. Back in 1999, Burnley won a five-goal thriller in the old Division Two, with Andy Payton scoring a hat-trick.

Burnley vs Oxford United Betting Tips & Predictions

Despite putting five past Plymouth Argyle, Burnley have struggled for goals recently. Only Blackburn Rovers have scored fewer than Parker’s side in the top half.

Oxford are unbeaten under Rowett, and the U’s will be a tough nut to crack at Turf Moor. Still, we fancy the hosts to edge it, and the Burnley win and under 2.5 goals stands out at 2.75. Also, you can get 1.67 for the hosts to keep a clean sheet.
