Burnley vs Newcastle United: Match Prediction
Both teams are in very poor condition. The hosts are sinking deeper into the relegation zone, while the visitors lag further not only behind the top 4 but also behind the European places. Both sides desperately need wins to improve their league positions. We expect a high-scoring match and also goals from both teams. It is difficult to give a clear preference to either side, as Burnley are struggling at home while Newcastle United have poor away form.
Despite weak overall numbers, the home side scored in 10 of their last 14 league matches. The visiting team scored in 11 of their previous 13 Premier League games. And of course both opponents concede a fair amount: Burnley average 1.9 goals conceded, while Newcastle United average 1.3. In addition, both teams scored in the last 3 head-to-head meetings at Turf Moor in the Premier League.
