Burnley vs Newcastle: Predictions and Betting Tips

Burnley

Burnley, apart from some good seasons they have had, is used to fighting for relegation until the last day of the league.

The good thing about Burnley this season is that despite being in the bottom half of the table they have some mid-table or even top-flight stats. For example, in goals conceded, they have similar stats to teams like West Ham, Man United or Everton.

Newcastle

Newcastle, a historic club in English football (four-time Premier League champions) but is now at a difficult moment in its history.

Newcastle already knows what it is like to be relegated to the Championship in recent seasons and they will surely do everything they can to avoid relegation, as it is probably the toughest second division in the world.

Key Stats

• All the last five home games of Burnley ended in a draw
• Four of the last five home draws ended with 1-1 as the final score
• Four consecutive away games without winning for Newcastle 
• Newcastle has conceded at least one goal in four of their last five games

Burnley vs Newcastle Predictions

We think it will be a close game without many chances and following the statistics of Burnley’s last games at their home ground, which have all been draws and with few goals.

As for goals, Burnley is very defensive at home, they have only conceded 16 goals in 15 games, and a team as poor as Newcastle is at the moment is not likely to be able to score many goals against them.
