On April 21, the second leg of the Portuguese Cup final will occur. In the second leg, Porto and Sporting will compete for the trophy.
Stadium: Turf Moor (Burnley).
Referee: Stuart Attwell.
Losses
Burnley: Gudmundsson, Westwood, Mi, Peters (?).
Southampton: McCarthy (?).
Team Form
Burnley survived in London against West Ham, earning one point (1:1). But the situation in the table is still the most difficult: the backlog from Leeds in terms of losses is five points, from Everton – six. There are not so many rounds left (seven), so now it is important to score at least some points in every match, just for everyone. The home game against Southampton is a good start for such a series. Although last season the Clarets lost to the Saints at home 0:1.
Southampton broke a six-game streak without a win by beating the whole Arsenal at home (1:0). Yes, somewhere, the Heisenhüttl team was lucky, but after 4:19 in six meetings, at least something should have come back. The “Saints” again claim the top 10 and almost scored the same 40 points in order not to be relegated (39 so far). It is clear that there is no question of the struggle for survival, but it would be nice to overcome the psychological mark.
Outcome Bets
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the guests, estimating their victory at 2.61. Burnley’s win is quoted at 2.78. The Saints have only two wins in nine face-to-face matches, but both were won in the 2020/21 season. Southampton may well count on three points, but, of course, the hosts have more motivation.
Handicap bets
You can bet on a handicap (0) in favor of Burnley with a coefficient of 2.01. The hosts won their last match at Turf Moor against Everton (3:2), and before that, there were three defeats and a victory over Tottenham. Southampton is a passable opponent, so it is worth considering for such an odd.
Total bets
“Burnley” according to the grassroots tradition: seven times, they played bets on the total under 2.5 and “both to score – no.” The “burgundy” managed to distinguish themselves only in half of the matches. The team from Burnley did not lose only three times in a stretch of ten meetings.
The Saints only scored more than one goal three times in the same ten games. Over 2.5 went six times, with five times resulting from mutual goals. In three games, they were able to get back to zero.
“Both to score – no” is estimated at 1.96.
Forecast and bet on the match “Burnley” – “Southampton.”
The season is entering such a phase that it is the motivation that decides. And here, it is higher among the owners. Therefore, any quotes should take this aspect into account. The teams are about the same level, but the “burgundy” coach was fired, who led the team for ten years. It doesn’t matter because Michael Jackson himself has been appointed interim. Handicap zero at Burnley is quoted at 2.01.
