Newcastle vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
St. James’ Park is the backdrop for the game between Newcastle United and Burnley this weekend. The home team has been unbeaten for four consecutive home games, but the visitors won their last two games and therefore travel to Newcastle upon Tyne with confidence.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United is in 14th place in the Premier League. With the current classification, Newcastle United-manager Steve Bruce cannot be dissatisfied: the 59-year-old Bruce has to keep Newcastle United in the Premier League and that will most likely succeed. The Magpies have built up a seven point lead over the teams under the relegation line and with this material Newcastle United must be able to hold on to such a lead.
The last four times that Newcastle United came into action at St. James’ Park it remained unbeaten. Unfortunately for The Magpies, the last three games they played were in duels and in that series of three away games, Newcastle United – not least by extending – only managed to beat Oxford United (2-3). The wins at Arsenal (4-0) and Crystal Palace (1-0) were both lost for the Bruce team in the past two weeks.
Burnley:
At Burnley, they currently secretly dream of European football. The Clarets are in tenth place in the Premier League and the gap with Manchester United, the number five in the ranking, is only four points. There are two reasons for this: First, Burnley is currently performing well in the Premier League. Another reason is that Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are performing disappointingly in that Premier League this season, thereby giving smaller clubs the opportunity to still dream of European football at the moment.
Sean Dyche won his last two games with Burnley and therefore The Clarets no longer have to worry about a possible relegation battle. At Burnley they now have 37 points and it must all go really well if the Dyche team is now in danger of relegation. Burnley has been too strong for competitors Southampton (1-2) and AFC Bournemouth (3-0) in recent weeks. If Burnley also achieves a good result at St. James’ Park this weekend, then there might be a few things possible for The Clarets.
