Burnley vs Bournemouth
England – FA Cup
Date: Tuesday, 9 February 2021
Kick-off at 17:30 UK/ 18:30 CET
Venue: Turf Moor (Burnley).
Burnley defeated Fulham in their previous FA Cup fixture to reach the quarter-finals this term. The host has lost their last two matches in PL against Chelsea and Manchester City, respectively. With their clean sheet win in the previous FA Cup clash, the Clarets will be close to the semi-final berth in the tournament.
Bournemouth has only one win in their last five matches across all major competitions in their overall schedule. The lone win was in FA Cup against Crawley with a 2-1 scoreline at home. Losing four consecutive championship games ought to affect the morale of the players ahead of the next clash.
Burnley has their Premier League experience in the match against the guest. The host also enjoys the ground advantage in the game, and they have lost only two of their last eight home matches. Besides, the three-goal margin clean sheet win against another championship side will give them a slight edge.
Bournemouth will come into the clash with three defeats in the last four outings. Their poor form on the road will affect their play in the upcoming match. Apart from that, the championship side doesn’t stand a chance against the squad strength of the PL home team.
Hence, the tip for Burnley to qualify will probably be the best bet for the punters. The host has lost only once at this venue to the guest and has kept a clean sheet in the last two wins. So, the tip for Burnley to win either half of the fixture will probably be a suitable option in ninety minutes.
