Burnley - Newcastle United betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

While Burnley can’t exactly be happy with their 3:2 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Southampton .

The start of Newcastle United’s previous match against Tottenham Hotspur was going according to most betting predictions – the obvious favourites, Tottenham Hotspur, took the lead. Newcastle were playing on home turf, however, and secured an unexpected 2:2 draw as the final result.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Newcastle are placed 17th in the standings with 3 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, they’ll need to stay on their game – the teams placed lower will be giving their all to stay in the Premier League.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Premier League clash tells a different story. Burnley lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Fabian Schär, Isaac Hayden, Jamal Lewis have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

With the two teams’ recent track records in mind, this match is perfect for a very safe Both Teams to Score wager.
