The 23rd-round Premier League match between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur will take place on 24 January at Turf Moor. Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Burnley
Burnley faced opponents in their last two league matches who are competing for Champions League places and produced decent results. First the team drew at home with Manchester United (2:2), and then they sensationally drew away with Liverpool (1:1). At the same time there have been no wins in the Premier League for 13 consecutive matches (4 draws and 9 defeats). Because of that run the club still remains in the relegation zone and sits 8 points adrift of the safety of 17th place. The team also has one of the worst defensive records in the competition – 42 conceded goals.
- At home the club has gone 7 league games without a win (2 draws and 5 defeats).
- Burnley conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 Premier League home matches.
- No more than 1 goal was scored in the second half in 8 of the team’s last 10 home matches in the Premier League.
Potential Burnley Lineup (4-5-1)*
Martin Dúbravka – Maxim Estev, Bashir Humphreys, Axel Tuanzebe, Kyle Walker – Lucas Pires, Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino, Marcus Edwards, Jaydon Anthony – Armando Broja.
The club has striker Zeku Amdouni, defender Connor Roberts and midfielders Mike Tresor, Josh Cullen and Luis Baier sidelined with injuries. It is also worth noting that forward Michael Obafemi has moved to another club.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have not won in four Premier League matches. The team first drew twice and then lost to Bournemouth (2:3) and West Ham United (1:2). The main problem for the team is poor form at their home stadium, where they have recorded just 1 win in their last 10 Premier League matches. The squad under Thomas Frank has slipped into the lower part of the table, although relegation battle talk is premature – the gap to the bottom three is 10 points.
- The club has failed to win in 6 of their last 7 Premier League games (2 draws and 4 defeats).
- Away from home Tottenham Hotspur have suffered only 3 defeats in their last 11 league games (5 wins and 3 draws).
- At least three goals were scored in 8 of the side’s last 10 away matches in the Premier League.
Potential Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Guglielmo Vicario – Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies – Archie Gray, Conor Gallagher – Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, Matis Tél – Randal Kolo Muani.
Out injured are midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison, defender Ben Davies, and forwards Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match Prediction
Thomas Frank faces the threat of dismissal. Early in the season it looked as if the coach had managed to lift the team to a higher level, but by early November it became clear that nothing had really changed. Gradually Tottenham Hotspur returned to their familiar positions in the table. If previously the team struggled at home but compensated with good away performances, now they are also regularly dropping points on the road.
Even a relegation-threatened and unbalanced opponent can be handled by the home side. We believe that Scott Parker’s squad, if they do not win, will at least avoid defeat. Burnley performed well in the last two rounds, and notably against strong opponents. We think the supporters will help the team deliver a good performance this round. It is also worth noting that Burnley occasionally springs surprises on Tottenham Hotspur – in five previous Premier League meetings at Turf Moor the hosts recorded two wins and one draw, while Tottenham Hotspur won only twice.
