Burnley and West Ham United will begin their 2026-27 Championship campaigns on Sunday in a meeting between two clubs determined to return to the Premier League at the first opportunity. Both sides were relegated from the top flight last season, but West Ham enter the contest as one of the strongest candidates for the Championship title. The Hammers have retained captain Jarrod Bowen despite significant interest and departures, while the arrivals of Joel Veltman and Manor Solomon have added experience and quality to Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad. Their preparation has also been encouraging, with five unbeaten pre-season matches followed by a 3-1 EFL Cup victory over Portsmouth. Burnley face a more uncertain situation after appointing Nicky Hayen only five weeks ago. The new manager has had limited time to reshape the team, while several important players have departed Turf Moor during the summer, including Maxime Esteve and Jaidon Anthony. Burnley are still working on strengthening thei

The two teams both relegated from the Premier League last season are going head - to - head. A win at the start is of great significance for their promotion prospects. Burnley is playing at Turf Moor. The stadium atmosphere is intense, yet the team's recent form has been poor. They've failed to win in multiple consecutive matches across various competitions and could only draw against a lower - league opponent in the EFL Cup. There are significant lineup issues. The midfield linchpin, Cullen, has suffered a serious injury and is out for the season. Defender Beyer is also injured, which has damaged the team's offensive and defensive core. Burnley usually employs a 4 - 4 - 2 formation. They rely on physical confrontation and crosses from the flanks to create goal - scoring opportunities. However, their finishing rate in the attacking third has been low for a long time. If they push forward aggressively in an attempt to grab points, the lack of midfield interception ability will expose th

Burnley has struggled consistently at home in this season's EFL Championship. In 19 home games, they've managed only 2 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses. They've scored 18 goals while conceding 29, resulting in a goal difference of -11 and a mere 13 points, placing them 20th in the league. The team's offensive efficiency has been abysmal, averaging just 0.95 goals per game. Defensively, they've been leaky, conceding 1.53 goals per match on average. Their home win - rate stands at a meager 10.5%. To make matters worse, Burnley has failed to win in their last six games, with a record of 0 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. They've scored 5 goals and conceded 12, with a goal difference of -7, pushing their win - rate down to 0%. This imbalance between attack and defense has made it difficult for Burnley to dominate opponents at home. Frequent defensive errors have given opponents opportunities to capitalize. The team's competitiveness at home has significantly diminished, and it urgently needs targe

Santander Racing had an outstanding performance in the Segunda División last season, finishing 25 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses, ranking first in the league and achieving direct promotion. On the other hand, Villarreal had a remarkable season in La Liga, ending up in third place and securing a spot in the Champions League. Their away - game record was also decent, with 7 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, placing them fourth in terms of away - game performance. This upcoming match will be a clash between a newly - promoted team full of energy and a seasoned top - tier side with European ambitions. Santander Racing will be eager to prove themselves in the top flight, while Villarreal will look to continue their good form and start the season strongly. It remains to be seen how Santander Racing will adapt to the higher level of competition, and whether Villarreal can quickly find their rhythm against a motivated opponent.

The Spanish side had a decent performance last season, finishing with 12 wins, 10 draws, and 16 losses, securing the 11th position in La Liga. Although they achieved the goal of avoiding relegation, there were opportunities for them to strive for a spot in European competitions. On the other hand, Levante was mainly focused on staying in the league last season. They managed to collect 42 points, with 11 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses. Their away - game record was rather mediocre, with only 4 wins, 4 draws, and 11 losses. This indicates that they faced significant defensive issues when playing on the road. Last season, Espanyol endured a winless streak spanning over 10 games. Fortunately, they managed to turn things around towards the end of the season, securing an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw in the last three matches. In recent friendlies, their performance has been fairly decent, with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in 6 games. However, they haven't won in their last 4 matches, and

Lorient had an outstanding performance in Ligue 1 last season, finishing second in the league. In the French Cup, Lorient achieved a milestone in its 120 - year history. In the final, thanks to a goal and an assist from Tawan and a goal from Édouard, they defeated Nice 3 - 1 to win the French Cup for the first time. Paris Saint - Germain has already won a title in the new season. In the UEFA Super Cup in mid - week, they successfully defended their title with goals from Kvaratskhelia and Doué, beating Aston Villa 2 - 1. After the return of international players like Dembélé and Doué who participated in the World Cup, they quickly got into the game and performed excellently, demonstrating the team's deep squad depth. Lorient's offensive core remains intact as two of the three players who scored over ten goals last season, Édouard and Tawamba, have stayed. Before the new season, Lorient played six friendlies, achieving three wins, two draws, and one loss, showing decent form. As th
