Burnley vs Bournemouth Prediction & Match Preview

• Burnley lost seven and drew two of the previous nine league games.
• Clarets picked up just five points in 13 home outings in this term of the Premier League.
• Vincent Kompany’s men allowed three or more goals in four of the previous five league fixtures.

Being 11 points shy of the safe zone with 12 games left to play, Burnley are in a must-win position ahead of Sunday’s clash with Bournemouth in West Lancashire. After a stellar Championship campaign last season, Clarets have struggled badly to perform in the top flight of English football this time around.

Vincent Kompany has an uphill battle to face in the final twelve outings of the season. His team are not pulling up any trees with a run of seven losses and two draws in the previous nine league matches. The latest of the failures occurred eight days ago when ten-man Clarets fell 0-3 away at struggling Crystal Palace.

Bournemouth have not been much more impressive of late either. The Cherries are winless in six successive affairs across competitions going into this tie at Turf Moor. They were eliminated from the FA Cup after a 0-1 home loss to Championship side Leicester City in extra-time on Tuesday evening.

Recent Meetings

• Burnley have five wins in the last seven meetings with the Cherries.
• Bournemouth picked up a 2-1 victory in the reverse game in this Premier League term, though.
• We’ve seen three or more goals in five of the previous seven head-to-head encounters between Burnley and Bournemouth.

Burnley vs Bournemouth Prediction

Neither team will enter the tie in high spirits. The outcome of Sunday’s game may well depend on the injury status of Bournemouth’s talisman Dominic Solanke. Big Dom was not in contention for the midweek’s loss to Leicester through an injury and his status ahead of the trip to Turf Moor is questionable. That said, Bournemouth are still the favourites to claim the spoils on Sunday. Burnley took just 5 points from 13 home outings in this term of the Premier League. The hosts shipped three or more goals in four of the previous five league affairs. It is very hard to look past the away win pick at the 1.95 odds.

Alternatively, we will go for the Over 2.5 goals pick at the 1.66 odds. We’ve seen at least three goals in each of Burnley’s last five league games. Moreover, both teams were on target in four of Bournemouth’s previous five Premier League outings. Recent head-to-head tradition also points towards a high-scoring scenario at Turf Moor.
