Burnley Prediction – Can Burnley return to winning ways?
A 2-1 defeat away at Leicester City last weekend put an end to Burnley’s promising 4-match stretch without defeat in the Premier League under manager, Sean Dyche, which has left Saturday evening’s hosts in 8th place prior to this weekend.
Nevertheless, it’s been an encouraging and solid start by Burnley this season compared to last season’s slow start which was affected by their involvement in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League, but recent wins against Norwich City and Everton, both at home, should still give The Clarets plenty to be upbeat about here.
In addition, Burnley have picked up useful points in draws with Brighton and Aston Villa, both away from home, while on home turf at Turf Moor, Burnley possess a good early record which stands at 3-0-1 6/3.
This includes an additional win against Southampton in a 3-0 win as well as the aforementioned victories over Norwich City and Everton, but 5 defeats out of their last 10 matches at home leads us to the goals markets where the outcome looks more likely than a home win here.
Chelsea Prediction – Can Chelsea keep winning streak going?
A midweek 1-0 win away at Ajax in the Champions League extended Chelsea’s winning streak to 6 matches in all competitions and I daresay the clean sheet on the road in Amsterdam would have also delighted Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard.
During this sequence, Chelsea have registered wins against Brighton, Southampton and Newcastle United in recent weeks and it’s been this string of wins which have helped lift Chelsea up into the top four of the Premier League.
After a horrific start to the season away from home at Old Trafford where Manchester United dished out a heavy 4-0 defeat, Chelsea have since staged a great recovery as the visitors have won their subsequent 3 away matches on the trot with wins at Norwich City 3-2, Wolves 5-2 and a 4-1 win at Southampton.
But although Chelsea have been impressive on the road of late, they’re still pretty loose at the back and this will give Burnley hope that they can exploit Chelsea’s fragile defence in this clash.
Key-Facts – Burnley vs Chelsea
- Burnley have lost 5 of their last 10 home matches in the Premier League
- Chelsea have won their last 3 away matches on the trot in the EPL
- 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two teams have seen both teams score
Betting Tips Verdict
Burnley have made a good start at home this term while Chelsea will be in confident mood on the back of their winning momentum. We could see both teams score here as a result.
