Burnley - Newcastle United predictions

Burnley are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Premier League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.53, it’s not very likely to happen.

Though Newcastle United are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.03 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Burnley will head into the Saturday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Manchester United away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

The lukewarm performance by Newcastle in the first half of the previous round gave Sheffield United some hope, but the impressive play of the second half quickly drowned those hopes and led to a 5:1 victory.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from The Clarets and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from The Magpies in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Having lost too many matches in the Premier League this season, The Clarets occupy the 19th place in the standings. The negative record is likely to continue this Saturday as they welcome Newcastle as huge underdogs.

The Magpies took the home win last time they clashed with Burnley, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in Turf Moor.

Newcastle’s position as favourites is hard to question, but their roster has been battered by a string of injuries. They’ll have to make do without Fabian Schär, Jamaal Lascelles, Miguel Almirón, Sven Botman, Matt Targett, Joseph Willock, which will make things considerably more difficult than they would have been otherwise.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.53 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
