Match to be a draw
Burnley (1W 1D 4L) and Everton (1W 0D 5L) are 17th and 18th in the form table respectively. Both sides have scored just two goals each during that run.
In general, both sides have struggled for goals. Everton have scored 30 goals in the league this season, only Watford (29), Brighton (26), opponents Burnley (22) and Norwich City (18) have scored less.
Correct Score – Burnley 0-0 Everton
Burnley have scored a joint league-low ten goals at home this season while only Norwich have scored less away goals than Everton’s 11 so far. Due to these stats as well as current form it is hard to see many goals in this match and highly possible there will be no score.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Burnley vs Everton
Burnley had a decent February and looked to be possibly pulling themselves out of danger, however, four straight defeats since March without any goals scored leaves the Clarets in a desperate situation.
Burnley are currently 19th and four points away from their opponents Everton in 17th place. Both sides hold an advantage over the other two sides in immediate danger having played two less matches.
That advantage will be reduced to one match by the time this one is over and if Burnley win, Everton really will be in danger.
A win for Everton, however, may very well consign Burnley to the inevitable with the Toffees opening up a seven-point gap between these sides and six points from 18th placed Watford.

After a bright start, the goals have dried up for January signing, Wout Weghorst, as his tally reads only one goal in his ten Premier League appearances so far.
After spending most of the season in the treatment room, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues to work up to full fitness and the Toffees will be encouraged by him lasting 77 minutes in the weekend’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham United.
In a game where there will likely be few chances it could be a case of which one of these marksmen is the sharpest come Wednesday night.
Safe Bets
Under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.67 for this match. 64% of Burnley’s matches have ended with under 2.5 goals and while this has only occurred in 43% of Everton’s matches, this is more down to Everton’s opponents rather than their attacking prowess.
With both sides not setting the world alight in front of goal we expect there to be few goals in this one, if any.
Get Rich Quick
If you wanted to up the ante regarding the number of goals scored, under 1.5 goals is priced at 3.0.
The stats don’t encourage this with under 1.5 goals happening in just 25% of Everton’s matches and 32% of Burnley’s but again, both sides have been goal shy all season and have both only scored two goals in their last six matches.
Burnley vs Everton Team News

Possible Starting Lineups
Burnley: Pope, Roberts, Long, Tarkowski, Taylor, Lennon, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Weghorst, Cornet
Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Branthwaite, Godfrey, Kenny, Holgate, Doucoure, Gordon, Alli, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin
Highlighted Player – Dele Alli
Dele Alli looks to be the most creative player on the field for this one and the only real hope for any sort of a spark or excitement. The forgotten man could be vital to Everton’s hopes of coming away with a win.
