Chelsea vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea plays the first home game in competition in 2020 against Burnley. Frank Lampard’s team lost the last two home games in the Premier League and should not underestimate Burnley, which is hopelessly out of shape.
Chelsea:
With a five-point lead over Manchester United, the number five, Chelsea is still firmly in fourth place in the Premier League. Lampard has been given the objective that he must qualify for the Champions League with The Blues and that objective seems realistic. Moreover, the English coach has also managed to reach the knockout phase of the Champions League with a very young team, in which Bayern Munich will be the opponent next month. First there are a lot of games for Chelsea in the Premier League. Starting with a home game against Burnley.
On Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lost the last two home games in the Premier League. The Blues lost 0-1 to AFC Bournemouth a month ago in London and on Boxing Day Southampton was too strong for Chelsea with 0-2. Last weekend Chelsea managed to win a victory over Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup, as Nottingham Forest was defeated 2-0 by The Blues. At Chelsea, they can rely on the mutual statistics in the run-up to the game with Burnley, as The Blues stepped out of the field in 11 of the last twelve games against Burnley.
Burnley:
Burnley has twelve points less than Chelsea and is in fifteenth place in the Premier League. The Clarets are four points ahead of AFC Bournemouth, the first club under the red line, and so they are not yet with Burnley. The fact that Burnley is getting closer to the danger zone has everything to do with the results of the last few weeks. The formation of Sean Dyche lost the last three Premier League games and has therefore dropped some places in the rankings. If we go even further back in time, we see that Burnley lost no less than five of the last eight games. The other three games, on the other hand, ended in a victory for Burnley.
In recent weeks, Everton (1-0), Manchester United (0-2) and Aston Villa (1-2) were successively too strong for The Clarets. For the defeat against Aston Villa, Burnley came hard, because Aston Villa is still a competitor and you can’t lose that in your own house. Burnley was successful in the FA Cop last weekend: Peterborough United was defeated by Turche Moor 4-2 by the team of Dyche.
