Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction & Match Preview

Burnley vs Newcastle Match Preview

• Newcastle won three of the last four league fixtures.
• The Magpies have five wins and a draw in the last six meetings with Clarets.
• Alexander Isak bagged seven goals in his previous six appearances for Newcastle.

Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty cancelled Antony’s opener to extend Burnley’s unbeaten thread to three matches last weekend in Manchester. Clarets are still well in contention for avoiding the instant return to Championship football. They are second from bottom but only two points shy of Nottingham Forest in the safe zone.

Vincent Kompany’s troops will seek more salvation points this weekend. They host Newcastle in Matchday No 36 on Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor. It is a difficult matchup for Clarets as the Magpies go into this on the back of a commanding 5-1 victory over Sheffield United.

It was the third win in the last four league affairs for Eddie Howe and his troops. They occupy the 7th place in the Premier League standings. Newcastle are only one point below Manchester United in 6th position.

Burnley vs Newcastle Head-to-head

• Newcastle go into this on the back of five wins and a draw in the last six meetings with Clarets.
• The Magpies picked up a 2-0 win in the return game played in September last year at St. James’ Park.
• Only one of the previous four H2H encounters between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

Recent Meetings

This match has goals in it. Both Burnley and Newcastle fancy attacking-minded football. Clarets missed a lot of chances seven days ago at Old Trafford. They had earlier put four goals in an away win over Sheffield United. Seven of their last eight matches provided goals at both ends.

The Magpies kept just one clean sheet in the previous eight away fixtures across competitions. They will have a lot of space to deliver on Saturday past the leaky Burnley defence. Knowing that they won five and drew one of the last six meetings with Clarets, we see Newcastle as pretty clear favourites to claim the spoils this weekend. The main pick will thus be Newcastle to win & Both Teams To Score at the 3.10 odds.

We also like Alexander Isak to score anytime at the 2.10 odds. The Swedish striker has been on a hot spell of form lately. He continued it with a brace in the last weekend’s 5-1 hammering of Sheffield United at St. James’ Park.

It took his tally to 19 goals for the season. Isak in serious contention for the Golden Boot award. He scored seven goals in the last six games. He now goes up against the third-worst defence in the league.
