Burnley U21 face West Bromwich Albion U21 at Leyland County Ground, Leyland, Lancashire on Friday, Feb 12 at 8:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Premier League 2, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Burnley U21 come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4). West Bromwich Albion U21 travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Burnley U21 won their last outing, while West Bromwich Albion U21 suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Burnley U21 win or a draw looks most likely.
