Burnley V West Ham Predictions & Betting Odds

Burnley v West Ham Betting Preview – Premier League 14th October 3.00pm

Burnley continues to defy the odds and they wrapped up a good away win at Goodison Park just before the international break. That took them out to a five match unbeaten streak of form in the top flight. It’s been great stuff from them and they will fancy their chances at home against West Ham. There have been improvements from the Hammers recently with just one loss in their last four played, but they have had their issues out on the road, making this a difficult trip to Turf Moor for them.

Burnley v West Ham Betting Tips

The Clarets are having a tremendous season and so far they are the real surprise package of the new term. They are now unbeaten in five games in the top flight after having taken a 1-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park just before the international break. They have lost just the one game all season and really not many people would have seen that coming ahead of the season. The Clarets have a mixed W1 D1 L1 record on home soil this season and they have only returned the one goal in those three games but that one was enough to give them a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace back in mid September. Six of Burnley’s seven games this season in the top flight have seen two goals or less and under 1.5 goals at bet365 is a price of 7/4 and that has happened in seven of Burnley’s last 13 home games.

Burnley have conceded just five league goals this season and that is bettered only by the top two, Manchester City and Manchester United who have only conceded two each. If Burnley were to pick up the win in this one, it won’t likely be by a big margin at all and a Burnley to win by a one goal margin returns a decent price of 3/1 at bet365. Burnley doesn’t have home form going against West Ham as they have lost their last three at Turf Moor against the Irons in all competitions and suffered a 2-1 loss in this corresponding fixture last season. But right at this moment, they look solid enough to avoid defeat. Chris Wood is the 5/1 bet365 first goalscorer outright favourite while he is a price of 7/4 in the anytime goalscorer market.

The Clarets’ overall form at Turf Moor in the top flight isn’t great as they have won only two of their last nine there and so the Hammers can turn up with some optimism. They did land a league double over the Clarets last season in the top flight. However, West Ham have not been good on the road at all this season having picked up only the one point from four games and they scored in just one of those four games too. Their last away game ended in a 0-0 draw at West Brom which could be a good indicator for this one. A 0-0 Correct Score at bet365 fetches a price of 15/2. The Hammers West Ham have posted a W2 D1 L4 record this season in the league, but have improved to W2 D1 L1 in their last four, the only loss in that sequence coming against Spurs.

Top Tip:

0-0 Correct Score at 15/2

But they have struggled going forward this season on the road and their top scorer is Javier Hernandez who is 2/1 in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market, West Ham have not been ahead at the break in any of their league fixtures this season, home or away this season and have been behind at the break in three of their four away games this term. Their defence has been a bit shambolic on the road, leading to three of their four road games to have gone over 2.5 goals. West Ham do have the positive of being on a five match winning streak against Burnley and are unbeaten in six against them. They have scored at least two goals in each of their last four visits to Turf Moor as well. A West Ham Draw No Bet is a 10/11 jolly.
