The numbers suggest a goal rush is unlikely at Turf Moor on Sunday, when the side with the Championship’s meanest defence host a Swansea City team who do not often concede.
Burnley kept a sixth clean sheet from their last eight games as they drew 0-0 at West Bromwich Albion on Thursday.
Having been relegated from the Premier League last season – when they conceded 78 goals in 38 top-flight games – Burnley have reset under Scott Parker, who took over from Vincent Kompany in the summer.
In 14 league outings so far this campaign, the Clarets have conceded a mere six goals.
That is the best record in the division, while Swansea have been breached only nine times so far.
Other than Burnley, only Sheffield United (seven) and West Brom (eight) have conceded on fewer occasions than the Swans in the Championship this season.
Does that make a goalless draw the most likely outcome when Burnley and Swansea come face to face?
“Both teams won’t be approaching the game in that way,” said Swansea head coach Luke Williams.
“I hope we are going to be difficult to score against, but I’m sure both teams are going to be trying very hard to beat each other.”
A Swansea win would be their most notable so far this season, given that Burnley – who could include ex-Swans Connor Roberts and Bashir Humphreys – have not been beaten on their own patch since relegation.
Parker’s men have lost only two league games all season, at Sunderland in August and against in-form Millwall at The Den last weekend.
The challenge facing Swansea, therefore, is “as big as they get” in the second tier according to Williams.
“It’s going to be a very tough place to play football and establish ourselves,” he added.
“They are a team with a lot of quality and a manager with a lot of experience. It is certainly going to be a huge test.”
Swansea will be boosted by the return after suspension of Josh Tymon, but Andy Fisher, Sam Parker, Jay Fulton, Ollie Cooper, Eom Ji-Sung and Burnley old boy Josh Ginnelly remain out.
