Tottenham vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Spurs take on Burnley on Saturday afternoon. In the first fifteen games, the visitors grabbed only two points less than Tottenham, so in a win, Burnley will pass the Spurs on the rankings.
Tottenham Hotspur:
It is a good thing that Tottenham Hotspur comes into action again on Saturday afternoon, because then the Spurs immediately get the opportunity to make the sour defeat of Wednesday night a visit to Manchester United. Mourinho returned to Manchester United on Wednesday – where he was fired about a year ago – and the Portuguese finally left the field with a 2-1 defeat. That defeat was not unjustified, because Tottenham showed virtually nothing in the Theater Of Dreams.
Mourinho had instructed his players to defend and strike from a counter, but it all turned out very positively. Also after Marcus Rashford’s 2-1, in the 49th minute, they left the initiative at Tottenham mostly to Manchester United and after four matches we can already state that Spurs is not more attractive than Mourinho. On the other hand, the Portuguese did win his first three games with the Spurs and if Tottenham beat Burnley this weekend, it will also keep an eye on clubs like Wolverhampton and Manchester United. The gap with Chelsea, which is fourth, is no less than nine points.
Burnley:
Burnley already played in the Premier League last Tuesday night and The Clarets want to forget the game with Manchester City as quickly as possible: 1-4 loss. On Turf Moor, goalkeeper Nick Pope had to collect four goals before substitute Robert Brady managed to put his name on the scoreboard in the last minute of the official playing time. The Burnley midfielder’s goal was one for the statistics and Burnley lost quite rightly to Manchester City.
With Tottenham-out, Burnley has another tough game on the program. The Clarets won their last away match (0-3 visiting Watford) and also hope to achieve a good result in London. Yet at Burnley they have not had any fond memories of the away games at Tottenham in recent years: Burnley lost six of the last seven away games at Tottenham. The only game that was not lost for Burnley ended two seasons ago in a 1-1 draw by a goal in the final phase of Chris Wood. At the time, Wood started on the couch under Sean Dyche. The expectation is that the Burnley manager will let him start in the basic team this time; Together with Ashley Barnes, Wood forms the attack duo against Tottenham.
