Stats for this game
Matchup Burnley VS Preston
League draws frame Burnley’s edge
Burnley won 3–0 at home on 11 February 2023 and 1–0 at Preston on 22 April 2016. The clubs drew 0–0 at Preston on 15 February 2025 and at Burnley on 5 October 2024, while a 1–1 result at Preston on 13 September 2022 added another level score. These dated Championship results give Burnley a positive direction without making every meeting one-sided. The draws keep the comparison open and provide a clear counterpoint to Burnley’s margins.
Preston’s FA Cup win is a separate thread
Preston won 3–0 at home in the FA Cup on 1 March 2025. That result adds a separate competition detail, but it should not outweigh the league meetings when the matchup is assessed. The enduring question is whether Preston can turn their cup score and league draws into a stronger response, or whether Burnley can reinforce the direction shown by their Championship wins.
