Burnley Prediction – Can Burnley avoid fourth defeat on trot?
A string of defeats have undone Burnley’s previous good work under manager, Sean Dyche, as a 4-match unbeaten run has been blemished by recent defeats to Leicester City, Chelsea and Sheffield United and Burnley have dropped down to 14th place in the Premier League as a result.
The Clarets had previously registered wins against Norwich City and Everton in 2-0 and 1-0 wins respectively along with picking up points in draws with Brighton and Aston Villa which had lifted Burnley up the table but their recent 3-match losing streak has seen them drop down the table again.
However, Burnley at Turf Moor are usually a stubborn unit and although their home record of 3-0-2 8/7 could be better, they’ve also recorded a 3-0 win over Southampton and will be up against a West Ham side who have managed just 1 win away from home so far this term.
In addition, Burnley are unbeaten in their last 2 meetings at home against West Ham and this will give the hosts confidence that they can end their losing run and take something from this encounter on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham Prediction – Can West Ham re-discover earlier form?
Following their opening day of the season 5-0 mauling at home to Manchester City, West Ham also showed early promise in the first few weeks of this top flight season as The Hammers put together a solid 6-match sequence without defeat in the Premier League which consisted of 3 wins and 3 draws.
Victories over Watford, Norwich City and Manchester United were complemented by points picked up in draws against Brighton, Aston Villa and Bournemouth, but the London club have since slumped to 5 matches without a win in the top flight.
This downturn in results include losing 3 of their last 4 matches with defeats to Crystal Palace, Everton and Newcastle United along with a draw with Sheffield United which means that Manuel Pellegrini’s side have picked up just 1 point out of the last 12 on offer in recent weeks.
With just 3 away wins out of their last 15 matches on their travels in the Premier League on top, West Ham seem a long way from being guaranteed all three points at Turf Moor this Saturday, and could find themselves embroiled in another tough battle in Lancashire.
Key-Facts – Burnley vs West Ham
- Burnley have won 3 of their 5 home matches to date in the Premier League
- West Ham have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the Premier League
- Burnley are unbeaten in their last 2 meetings at home against West Ham
Betting Tips Verdict
Burnley with home advantage should be able to at least avoid defeat to West Ham here.
