Burnley - Brentford predictions

Burnley may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Brentford. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.43 for the hosts to win.

The Bees will have to maintain the high level of focus against The Clarets. They can’t afford any mistakes and errors if they plan to run away home with three points in the bag.

The 2:2 result at the end of Burnley’s previous match against West Ham United was quite surprising. They were considered far weaker than their opponents going in, yet managed to pull ahead in the first half.

Although Brentford lost their previous away game 2:1, it’s hard to call the outcome a disappointment. Considering the 14.00 odds top online bookmakers gave them to beat Arsenal, even the draw on half-time is a minor success.

Experts have pointed at Burnley’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Bees’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Burnley are in an unenviable position going into round 29. They’re on their way to relegation and the time to move up is rapidly running out. Considering the odds online bookmakers are giving them for a win, though, they have a lot of reason to worry.

Brentford will be engaging in a difficult contest this Saturday. They sit in 15th with the Premier League heading into the final stretch. Getting three points at a difficult opponent can be considered a tall order but the visitors are hugely motivated to get out of the looming relegation battle.

Brentford 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.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 2.45 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
