Burnley and Newcastle United have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 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
4 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Burnley have to build on here at Turf Moor in the Premier League. Burnley has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Dyche and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Burnley, their manager S. Dyche and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
In their previous game, the manager S. Dyche led his Burnley to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Tottenham Hotspur. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Turf Moor. Before that game, the home loss against Manchester City with the scoreline 1-4.
Burnley were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Burnley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 4 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.
A decent goal production from Burnley in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. Burnley have conceded 13 from these games.
