Burnley vs Newcastle tips and predictions

Opportunity for Burnley

The total expected goals for this fixture is a higher number than usual so this could be entertaining.

A result here could be within Burnley's capabilities if they push the envelope.

Burnley will use any means necessary to add another L to the Newcastle's recent results. The visitors come into the match with 3 losses from their last 4 away matches. To put your faith in this team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

While not necessarily enough to upset the odds The Clarets have some reasons for hope. The hosts have showed some real class in previous performances. They have scored at least once in 7 of their recent 8 matches and the rest of the team has been industrious too. In defence they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 5 games.

Newcastle have conceded three or more goals in 7 of their last 20 matches. If they are stuttering it might not be exclusive to their defence. Newcastle have only scored once in their last 3 away games.

The outright win might be too much but they can grab something here. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Newcastle. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option for this particular encounter.
