Burnley - Southampton betting tips and odds

Burnley may come out on top this Thursday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Southampton. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.95 for the hosts to win.

The Saints will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.63 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

In a surprising turn of events, The Clarets took the lead in the early stages of their previous Premier League match at West Ham United . The lead withered away into a 1:1 draw in the second half - which still counts as a moderate success considering the overwhelming odds they were up against.

The Saints are coming off from an unexpected 1:0 victory against Arsenal. At odds of 4.05, not even the most optimistic of their fans expected a win – yet they pulled one off anyway after taking the lead in the first half.

With a defensive record like the one Burnley boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Turf Moor seems lost on them.

Southampton’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Burnley are still stuck in the relegation zone and the season is quickly running out. They’ll need every point they can get their hands out if they want to stay in the Premier League, so a win this Thursday would be very welcome.

Despite being favourites, Southampton couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Burnley. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

The best thing to do in this game is to put down a Home Win or Draw Double Chance bet and feel fairly confident about it. All signs point to one of these two outcomes being the final result, and the 1.58 odds at Betsson offer decent value.
