Competition: England Premier League
Competition: Sun 26.December
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Turf Moor (21401 seats)

Very important shoot-out in the lower section of the Premier League, with both Burnley and Everton going through more distress than glee. This match is a real "six-pointer" with the hosting team at 18th and the away team in 14th spot.

Insights:
  • Burnley have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Everton have the most points from losing position (11) in Premier League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Burnley form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Burnley are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two draws in a row at home now for Burnley.

Burnley are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 311 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Cornet).

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Burnley, who played 0-0 against West Ham United. That match was also played at this venue (Turf Moor). Pope, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.14 out of 10 in that game. Pope stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Newcastle United (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Burnley have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Burnley as they are travelling to their away game against Manchester United in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

Burnley are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. 8 goals have been conceded. Burnley has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Everton form and stats

Everton have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-5 (9 played).

Everton has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Chelsea for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). Pickford had red hot gloves after the game against Chelsea, shaping the outcome of the game with nine saves made. Pickford was the team player of the game with the player rating of 9.15. The agile goalkeeper Pickford stopped the opponent with nine saves.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Crystal Palace wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Everton playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were three Everton wins, zero draws and zero defeats.

A new game in only four days for Everton, the Premier League home match versus Newcastle United. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Everton as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. Everton's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The newest archived result between these teams is the Everton - Burnley 3-1 played previously this season. Data for the previous ten meetings involving these two teams are: four wins for Burnley, one draw and five wins for Everton. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
